Specialty Recipe

Passion Fruit Souffle

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 egg yolks

2 egg whites

2/3 cups passion fruit nectar

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Position a rack in the lower third of oven, then preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 4-inch souffle dish, then dust with about 1 tablespoon sugar, shaking out any excess. Refrigerate souffle dish.

Whisk together egg yolks with 3 tablespoons of sugar in a large bowl until mixture is a pale yellow, then set aside. Whisk egg whites until foamy in a non-reactive mixing bowl. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon sugar and continue whisking until whites hold a soft peak. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat until whites are glossy and just stiff. (Egg whites whipped in a unlined copper bowl will achieve 1/3 more volume.)

Whisk 2 tablespoons of passion nectar into egg yolk mixture, then fold in 1/4 of the egg whites. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just incorporated (do not overfold). Pour into chilled souffle dish and smooth top with spatula. Run the tip of your thumb around the inner edge of the dish to make a rim. Bake souffle until browned on top, about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the remaining passion fruit nectar and remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in 1 teaspoon water, then whisk into sauce until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Divide souffle between 2 plates and spoon passion fruit sauce around each serving.
