White Chocolate and Lemon Souffle
Serves 6-8 depending on the size of the ramekins and how much of it you eat before you stick it in the oven ;)
Ingredients
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tbsp Meyer lemon juice
2tbsp Meyer lemon zest
6 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
5 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1tsp vanilla extract
2tbsp melted butter (for the ramekins)
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for the ramekins
Prepare your ramekins by brushing them with butter, making sure you keep your strokes vertical (It will help the souffles to rise) Dust with sugar, and give the ramekins a turn, so that all sides are coated; then shake off the excess. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a saucepan, set over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and salt, and stir for a few minutes to cok the starch. Gradually add in the milk and whisk often while you bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice, zest, and white chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks.
In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to whip until the eggs are stiff! Fold a little of that meringue into the white chocolate mixture to lighten it up and then fold the remaining egg whites until both are completely blended, making sure to leave as much air as possible. Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins and bake for 35 minutes until golden and puffy. Serve at once!
