I altered the recipe from strawberry to blackberry. I don't see that it will make much of a difference, and any fruit would likely work.
8oz blackberries, fresh or frozen
2 tsps lemon juice
3 Tbsps honey, divided
3 egg whites, divided
6 6-ounce ramekins (8-ounce ramekins are fine, too)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Blend the blackberries in a blender or a food processor. Pour the puree into the strainer to remove the seeds and use a rubber spatula to press the puree through the holes, getting as much puree out as you can. Feed the seeds and thick pulp to the chickens or compost it.
- To the blackberry puree, add the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the honey, and 1 egg white. Whip for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is very fluffy and has reached soft peak phase. (If you remove a beater, the mixture should stand up on its own with the "peak" of the mixture flopping over a little.)
- In a separate, medium sized bowl, whip the remaining 2 egg whites with a hand mixer until it gets bubbly, then drizzle in the remaining tablespoon of honey. Continue to beat the egg whites until they reach soft peak as well. (See note)
- Gently fold the white egg white mixture into the pink mixture. Don't overstir or you'll lose volume.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet. (DO NOT GREASE THEM.) Divide the fluffy blackberry mixture among the ramekins. They'll be very full.
- Bake them on a rack in the center of the oven for 15-16 minutes. Or until the top of each souffle is stiff and has golden brown spots -- like a toasted marshmallow.
- Remove from the oven and serve as soon as they've cooled off enough to eat. Serve as is or top with a little whipped cream.
