Description

These delicate ricotta souffles are the perfect balance of savory and sweet, featuring a creamy cheese base infused with vanilla and lemon zest. The addition of beaten egg whites ensures a lofty, airy texture that puffs beautifully in the oven. Once baked to a golden brown, each souffle is split open and filled with a bright, tangy raspberry sauce, creating a stunning contrast in flavor and color. Topped with a dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is sophisticated yet simple enough for a weeknight treat or a special dinner party finale.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat four 6-ounce souffle cups with vegetable cooking spray. Place the cups in a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1/4 cup sugar, ricotta cheese, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, egg yolk, and lemon rind. Process for 1 minute or until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl once.
  3. Spoon the cheese mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
  4. In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, beating until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared souffle cups.
  7. Add hot water to the baking pan to a depth of 1 inch.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  9. Remove cups from the baking pan carefully.
  10. Make a 2-inch-deep slash through the center of each souffle.
  11. Spoon 2 tablespoons of raspberry sauce into the center of each souffle.
  12. Sprinkle each souffle with 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
