Finally the Netherlands have been blessed with gorgeous sunshine! Still cold temperatures but we can’t really complain 😊 what we can do with this gorgeous weather is to have a light yet super tasty dessert like these cloud-like strawberry soufflé!

These soufflé are so soft and light like a cloud thanks to the egg whites and very little flour! Just make sure to work the egg whites for quite some time (hence why the stand or hand mixers would be of huge help) until you get those hard and glossy white peaks. This recipe also does not use a lot of sugar, because I added some delicious seasonal strawberries!

Strawberries are my favorite fruit – I eat them by the (500g) box! So when it’s season I buy loads and try to add them to anything I can! If they are ripe, sweet and tasty then your desserts will be at a different level 😉 if you are not a super fan of strawberries, you can definitely substitute them with something else, like blueberries, raspberries or cherries! Enjoy!

Cloud-like Strawberry Soufflé

Serves: 6x Prep Time: 15 min Cooking Time: 20-30 min 20-30 min Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

300g egg whites
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
170g white caster sugar
100g all-purpose/00 flour
a pinch of salt
icing sugar to dust on top
100g strwberries chopped into quarters

Instructions

Turn the oven to 180C.
Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, start mixing the egg whites and the lemon.
Keep going until you notice the volume increase, the color turn white and the consistency getting thicker.
At this stage, add a third of the sugar and keep mixing until combined.
Repeat with the second third, and the last.
At this stage, you’ll have an ‘almost meringue’ consistency (stiff peaks, see below) and color (glossy white):
At this stage, using a wooden spoon or spatula, add half of the flour.
Mix slowly, from bottom to top, to incorporate the flour without breaking up the whites.
Repeat until all the flour is incorporated.
Add the strawberries and pinch of salt, and mix carefully one last time.
Transfer to the ramekins and gently smooth the surface.
Transfer to the oven and cook in the lower part for 20-30 minutes until slightly golden on top, and dry inside.
Take out of the oven, let it cool off completely before removing from the ramekins.
Add some icing sugar just before serving, and enjoy!
