Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Rhubarb (trimmed and chopped)
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 100 g White chocolate
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 4 large Egg whites
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare individual ramekins (about 6) by wrapping a strip of parchment paper around the rim of each dish to create a collar extending about 2 cm (¾ inch) above the rim. Secure with tape or a rubber band.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and breaks down into a compote, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Transfer the rhubarb compote to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
Melt the white chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave at low power, stirring frequently. Let it cool slightly but keep it fluid.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the melted white chocolate and whisk until fully combined. Stir in the cooled rhubarb puree.
In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream gently into the rhubarb and white chocolate mixture.
In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the rhubarb mixture in two additions, making sure to retain the light and airy texture.
Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them to just below the top of the parchment collar. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Place the ramekins in the freezer and let the soufflés freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, carefully remove the parchment collars and garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh rhubarb ribbons, if desired. Serve immediately.
