This amazing recipe was concocted by @craigscottharden 😍
In Craig’s own words:
🧂 Ramekin Ingredients:
- Butter
- Caster Sugar
🧂 Soufflé Base Ingredients:
- 1/2 a jar Bushtucker Babies Davidson plum & strawberry jam
- 50ml warm water
- 15gm cornflour
- 40 grams caster sugar
🧂 Meringue Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites
- Pinch Cream of tartar
- 50 grams caster sugar
- Teaspoon Kakadu plum powder
- Table spoon Desert lime fruit
🥄 Preparing the Ramekins:
- Brush ramekins liberally with butter using upright strokes
- Put in caster sugar turning ramekins in your hands until the entire inside is coated
- Pour excess from one ramekin to the next, adding more sugar if required
- The ramekins should have a light but thorough coating of butter & sugar!
- Preheat oven to 175ºC fan forced
🥄 Preparing the Soufflé:
- Mix jam and water together to make a smooth loose slurry
- Take about 1/4 of the slurry and mix this with the corn flour into a smooth paste
- With the rest of the slurry mix with caster sugar and put in a saucepan over a medium heat until sugar is dissolved, do not boil!
- Off the heat put the cornflour paste in the saucepan and mix, put the combined mix back on to a moderate heat and continue mixing constantly with a silicon spatula until it becomes very thick!
- Pass mixture through a sieve into a bowl and allow to cool while making the meringue!
🥄 Preparing the Meringue:
- With an electric mixer beat the egg whites until frothy, then add a pinch of the Cream of tartar
- Continue to mix until soft peaked are formed
- Add castor sugar and continue mixing until stiff peaks are formed
- Take 1/4 of the meringue and mix thoroughly with plum paste and then lightly fold this back into the remaining meringue until well combined
- Add the Kakadu plum powder and Desert lime pieces into the meringue
- Fold again being careful not to knock out the air from the mix!
🥄 Putting it all together:
- Spoon the mixture into the ramekins and fill to the top
- Take a pallet knife and scrape off excess leaving the mix completely flush with the top of the ramekin
- Finally with the edge of your thumb and your forefinger. having your thumb on the top edge of the ramekin, run your thumb around the top edge creating a small channel into the mixture where it meets the inside edge of the ramekin
- Put ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 12 to 17 minutes. It is better giving them an extra minute than taking them out too early. Soufflé should be well risen!
- Serve with ice cream!
- Enjoy!😊
