Something Chilled for the weekend (",)

I have a feeling that it will be another nice and hot weekend and many of us like to spend weekends with friends and maybe by the pool so I went through all my recipes from when I used to bake and make nice desserts and so on and I think I just found the perfect recipe!!

I think this recipe will impress anyone you serve them to. Not only do they look inviting they taste nice and they are chilled!

Ready to hear what they are??

Chilled Orange and Lemon Souffle'

This recipe makes 6 so if you need more just double to quantity.

Makes 6 
Preparations time: 20 Minutes
Chilling time: 2 Hours


What you will need:

15g gelatine powder
125ml water
8 eggs, separated
250ml lemon juice
5ml salt
400g sugar
30ml orange zest
15ml lemon zest
500ml cream

How to make them:

  • Form collars around 6 ramekins or serving cups using wax paper. It is best to fold the paper double to make sure they are firm.
  • Sprinkle the gelatine powder over the water and leave to sponge. Whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and half the sugar. Place the bowl over boiling water and stir until the mixture coats the back of the spoon.
  • Stir in the orange and lemon zest and the sponged gelatin. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile beat the egg whites and the rest of the sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Whip the cream until stiff and fold into the gelatine mixture along with the egg whites. Scoop the mixture into the prepared ramekins or serving cups (or one large dish) and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • Remove the collars and garnish with zest or sliced fruit before serving.
