Daring Cooks: Lemon Soufflé

Dave and Linda from Monkeyshines in the Kitchen chose Soufflés as our November 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge! Dave and Linda provided two of their own delicious recipes plus a sinfully decadent chocolate soufflé recipe adapted from Gordon Ramsay’s recipe found at the BBC Good Food website.

For the November challenge, we could make either a savory or a sweet souffle, or both. I've made plenty of cheese souffles, so I chose a sweet one for a change, one that was lemon rather than the usual chocolate.



I made a roux-based sauce, adding sugar and eggs along with lemon zest, then folded in the beaten egg whites.


The end-result was an airy dessert with a delicate lemon flavor. It was everything I expected.
