Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup hot brewed espresso
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup less 2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 egg yolks
4 egg whites, at room temperature
Confectioners' sugar for garnish
Finely ground coffee for garnish

Steps:

  • Mix the espresso with the ground cardamom and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved, strain the mixture through a fine seive and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush four 8-ounce ceramic ramekins with half the melted butter and dust them with 2 tablespoons of the sugar.
  • Beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until they lighten and thicken. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl and continue beating until cooled to room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Beat the remaining melted butter into the espresso mixture. Divide this mixture among the 4 ramekins.
  • Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff but not dry. Fold this mixture into the egg yolk mixture and divide it among the 4 ramekins.
  • Place the souffles in the oven and bake 6 minutes, until the tops are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and coffee, and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my souffle didn't turn out at all. It was flat and dense.

This recipe was too complicated and time-consuming. I don't think it was worth the effort.

I had a hard time getting the souffle to rise. I think I may have overbeaten the egg whites.

I'm not usually a fan of souffles, but this one was light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness from the espresso and warmth from the cardamom.
