Ingredients

Citrus souffle

30 gram butter

1/4 cup caster sugar

1 lemon and 1 lime, finely grated zest

2 tablespoon plain flour

1 cup milk, scalded (see tip)

2 eggs, separated

1 tablespoon citrus juice

2 egg whites, extra

icing sugar for dusting

White chocolate sauce

1/2 cup thickened cream

100 gram white chocolate, finely chopped

1/2 lemon, finely grated zest

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Lightly grease four 3/4-cup souffle dishes.

2.In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar and zest. Stir over medium heat, until melted. Add flour. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

3.Whisk hot milk into butter mixture. Return to heat. Cook, stirring, 4-5 minutes, or until mixture boils and thickens. Beat in yolks and juice. Allow to cool slightly.

4.In a clean bowl, beat egg whites, until soft peaks form. Fold lightly into citrus mixture.

5.Spoon evenly into prepared dishes. Bake 15-20 minutes, until puffed and golden.

6.Meanwhile, make sauce: heat cream in a small saucepan on high. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and zest, stirring, until melted.

7.Serve souffles dusted with icing sugar. Accompany with white chocolate sauce, for drizzling.

To scald milk, heat until it’s just about to boil, remove from heat. It’s important to beat your egg whites just before folding into the mixture; bake immediately.
