Lime Souffle Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Rub the inside of the ramekins or coconut shells with softened butter.
  • Sprinkle granulated sugar into the molds, and twist so the sugar crystals coat the inside of the ramekins or coconut shells.
  • Shake out any excess sugar.
  • In a saucepan, combine the melted butter, 1/3 cup sugar, the flour and cornstarch. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the mixture. Bring to a boil, and reduce to low heat, stirring constantly, simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Slowly whisk the thickened mixture into the egg yolks a little at a time to temper them. Cover and allow to cool to room temperature. Stir in lime zest and juice.
  • In a large bowl, beat the 6 egg whites, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and a pinch of salt at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped whites into the cooled egg mixture.
  • Divide the souffle batter among the ramekins or coconut shells. If
  • using the coconut shells, use your finger to clear the inside of the coconut rims, giving space for the souffle to rise.
  • Bake until puffed and lightly browned, about 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Top with toasted coconut, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and
  • garnish each a slice of lime.
  • Serve immediately
  • ........NOTE....For an impressive presentation, use coconut halves instead of ramekins for this recipe. To prep the coconuts, first drain the milk by using a corkscrew. Once drained, bake the coconuts in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a hammer to crack open coconuts to create halves. Create 4 foil rings and place them under the coconut shells for support.
