Banana & lime souffle with toasted coconut

Welcome to a delightful culinary adventure with our Banana & Lime Soufflé, topped with toasted coconut! This light and fluffy dessert is sure to impress not only with its taste but also with its elegant presentation. Soufflés may have a reputation for being difficult, but with the right techniques and a bit of patience, you can achieve a perfect rise every time. Let's dive into this tropical-inspired dish that's both refreshing and indulgent.

Ingredients:

2 tsp butter
10g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1 banana
120g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1/4 cup toasted coconut
24g
3 egg whites
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ramekins
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Use the butter to grease four ½-cup (120ml) ramekins. Make sure to coat the bottom and sides thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle a small amount of sugar into each ramekin, turning them to coat the sides evenly. Discard any excess sugar.
2. Prepare the Banana Mixture
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Add the lime juice to the mashed banana and mix well to combine. This will help to prevent browning and add a zesty flavor.
3. Toast the Coconut
- If your coconut is not already toasted, you can do this by spreading it in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Place it in the preheated oven and toast for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. Keep a close eye on it as coconut can burn quickly. Once toasted, set aside to cool.
4. Whip the Egg Whites
- In a large, clean mixing bowl, add the egg whites.
- Using an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they begin to froth.
- Gradually add the sugar, a little at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites.
- Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Combine Mixtures
- Gently fold the mashed banana mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; use a light hand to maintain as much air as possible.
- Add the toasted coconut and fold it in gently until evenly distributed.
6. Fill the Ramekins
- Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them nearly to the top.
- Smooth the surfaces with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
7. Bake the Soufflés
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and carefully transfer them to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the soufflés have risen and turned a light golden brown. Do not open the oven door during the first 12 minutes of baking to prevent the soufflés from collapsing.
8. Serve Immediately
- Once baked, remove the ramekins from the oven.
- Serve the soufflés immediately while they are still puffed and hot. They will start to deflate shortly after being removed from the oven.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help incorporate air and create a fluffy soufflé.

- Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

- Be gentle when folding the whipped egg whites into the banana mixture to retain the airiness needed for a good rise.

- Preheat your oven and position the rack in the lower third to prevent the top from browning too quickly.

- Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the soufflé to collapse.

- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the soufflé at its peak fluffiness and texture.
