Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned crushed pineapple (drained, reserve juice)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease six ramekins or a medium-sized soufflé dish thoroughly with butter, and lightly dust with sugar to coat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple, granulated sugar, egg yolks, flour, melted butter, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate clean and dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will give the soufflé its signature fluffy texture.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pineapple mixture a little at a time, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Use a spatula and fold until the mixture is uniform.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins or soufflé dish, leaving about half an inch of space at the top as the soufflé will rise while baking.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling, then bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown on top.
Once baked, serve immediately for the best presentation and texture. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness before serving.
