Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 4 pieces large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened, for greasing ramekins)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four 8-ounce ramekins with softened butter and coat them with a small amount of granulated sugar by swirling it around in the ramekin. Tap out any excess sugar and set the ramekins on a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, toss the fresh mixed berries with 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar. Set aside to macerate while preparing the soufflé batter.
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two clean large bowls. Add the remaining granulated sugar to the egg yolks along with the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and flour. Whisk together until smooth and thick.
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they form stiff, glossy peaks. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold a third of the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until fully incorporated. Be gentle to avoid deflating the batter.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sugared berries into the bottom of each greased ramekin. Then, divide the soufflé batter evenly among the ramekins, filling them to just below the rim.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and are golden on top. Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent them from collapsing.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for garnish.
