Key Lime Pie Soufflé Ingredients

1 cup Key lime juice

3 tbs granulated sugar

4 large Egg yolks

4 large Egg whites

3 tbs Butter

2 tbs 00 bread flour

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

1 pinch Celtic sea salt

1 tbs Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Method

Instructions

Prepare the Soufflé Base

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually add the key lime juice and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Mix the Egg Yolks

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy. Slowly add the cooled key lime mixture and mix until well combined.

Whip the Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Combine Mixtures

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the key lime mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.

Prepare the Ramekins

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust the insides with granulated sugar.

Bake the Soufflés

Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until puffed and golden.

Serve

Remove the soufflés from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately for the best texture.
