Christmas cake soufflés
Christmas cake soufflés
Turn leftover fruitcake or Christmas pudding into these individual hot desserts, served with warm caramel sauce to pour into each pot
- Serves 4
- Moderately easy
Ingredients
- butter, for greasing
- 1 tbsp golden caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 4 medium egg whites
- 150ml ready-made custard
- 85g fruitcakes, Christmas cake or pudding, finely crumbled
- caramel sauce, to serve
Method
-
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put in a baking tray to heat up. Grease 4 x 150ml ramekins, then add some sugar to each and shake to coat before tipping out the excess.
-
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add the sugar and continue whisking until stiff again. In a big mixing bowl, stir together the custard and crumbled cake. Stir in a quarter of the egg whites, and very gently fold in the rest using a big metal spoon until the mixture isn’t too streaky.
-
Divide the mixture between the ramekins, running your finger around the top inside of each to leave a ‘gap’ between the mixture and the ramekin just at the very top. Bake for 12-15 mins until risen and golden. Meanwhile, warm the caramel sauce.
-
Serve the hot soufflés immediately, with jugs of warm caramel sauce for people to pour into theirs.
