Iced Cherry Soufflés Recipe

 

Ingredients

 

Serve 4

  • 1/2 cups/375 g heavy/double cream

  • 5 oz/150 gripe cherries pitted + 4 whole cherries, to decorate

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

  • 3/4 cup/150 g granulated sugar


Method:

  1. Beat the cream in a large bowl until stiff and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. Take four 3-inch (8-cm) soufflé dishes. Wrap a strip of waxed paper around the outside of each one (the strip should be twice the height of the dish and slightly longer than the circumference).

  3. Process the cherries in a food processor or blender until pureed and place in a large bowl.

  4. Stir the egg whites, cream of tartar, and sugar in a double boiler over barely simmering water.

  5. Cook over low heat, beating constantly with an electric mixer at low speed until the whites register 160°F (80°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

  6. Beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten whites into the cherry puree, followed by 3/4 cup (180 ml) of cream.

  7. Spoon the mixture into the soufflé dishes, smoothing the surface. Freeze for 6 hours. Remove from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.

  8. Remove the paper. Pipe the cream around the edge of each portion. Decorate with the cherries and serve.
