 We had such a wonderful crop of berries last summer and I managed to freeze about 30 kg of them! These souffles are perfect to show-off the flavour of raspberries as they are not too sweet.

|
What to do
- Set out your ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 180oC.
- Melt the butter in the small microwave-proof bowl. Brush the soufflé dishes with the butter and dust with the extra caster sugar. Give each dish a gentle tap upside down to remove any extra caster sugar.
- Juice the lemon.
- Mash the raspberries with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons sugar with the back of a fork.
- Blend the cornflour with the water and add to the raspberry mixture.
- Separate the yolks from the whites, making sure there is no yolk in the whites. Beat the whites until they form soft peaks. Add the extra caster sugar, a teaspoon at a time, and beat until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
- Fold a third of the meringue through the raspberry mixture using a metal spoon, then gently fold in the remaining meringue.
- Use a metal teaspoon to two-thirds fill the soufflé dishes.
- Bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until well risen. Serve immediately.
