Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cup Pomelo or grapefruit juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup Sugar
  • 3 lg Eggs
Directions
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the pomelo or grapefruit juice with the cornstarch and stir until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  2. 2
    Pour the remaining juice into a medium non-aluminum saucepan and add the sugar.
  3. 3
    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is warm.
  4. 4
    Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the warm juice mixture in the saucepan, then immediately remove from heat.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk until just combined.
  6. 6
    Slowly pour the warm juice mixture into the beaten eggs while whisking continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
  7. 7
    Pour the combined mixture into a 1 1/2-quart souffl&# 195;© dish.
  8. 8
    Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, pressing the edges firmly against the rim to create a seal that prevents water from dripping in.
  9. 9
    Place the covered dish on a steamer rack in a pot with simmering water, ensuring the water level is below the bottom of the dish.
  10. 10
    Cover the pot and steam for about 35 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. 11
    Carefully remove the soufflé dish from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature.
  12. 12
    Refrigerate the custard until thoroughly chilled before serving.
