Cooking Method for Blueberry Cheesecake Soufflé with Cream Cheese Ice Cream by Paul Welburn
Soufflé Base
- Place the purée in a pan.
- Mix the cornflour, water and crème de cassis to a paste and add to the purée.
- Bring up to the boil, whisking all the time.
- Once the mixture boils and thickens, cook out for 2 minutes and then remove from the heat and pour into a bowl and press down.
- Cover in a piece of cling film to prevent a skin and allow to cool.
Soufflé
- Butter the bowls (ramekins if using) with softened butter and place back in the fridge to chill.
- Pre heat an oven to 180c.
- Remove the cling film from the chilled base and beat with a whisk until soft and smooth (this helps to incorporate the whites).
- In a stand mixer set with a whisk attachment place the egg whites and turn the machine on to its highest setting.
- Once the whites begin to thicken gradually add half of the sugar, continue whisking and when a light meringue forms sprinkle the remaining sugar in to the whites to create a smooth meringue.
- Turn the speed to low and allow to mix for 1 minute.
- Turn off the machine, remove the whisk and the bowl.
- Start to add half of the meringue to the soufflé base and beat in with a spatula to loosen and incorporate, then add the rest but this time fold gently to mix well but to avoid knocking the air out.
- Once all incorporated, spoon the mixture into the pre buttered moulds to the top. Afterwards, smooth off the top of each soufflé with a pallete knife and then run your finger around the edge to remove excess mixture.
- Place the soufflés on a baking tray and place into the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they have risen by 1/3.
- Remove from the oven and place into serving pans.
Crumble
- Pre heat the oven to 180c.
- Place the flour, butter and sugar into a bowl and rub together until the breadcrumb stage.
- Place on a lined baking tray and spread out evenly.
- Bake in the pre heated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, forking the mixture every 2 minute to cook evenly.
- Remove and allow to cool
Cream Cheese Ice Cream
- To start mix the cream, milk and sugar in a medium sized pan.
- Bring the liquid to the boil so that the sugar dissolves and then add the lemon zest.
- Place the yolks in a separate bowl and mix.
- Pour and stir the hot mixture into the yolks to create a custard.
- Place the mixture back into the pan and return to the stove over a medium to high heat.
- Place a thermometer in the pan and bring the liquid slowly up to 76°C. Once the temperature has been reached, remove from the heat, pass through a fine sieve and allow the liquid to cool down in a bowl over ice.
- Churn in an ice cream maker until set and serve.
Serve the souffle fresh from the oven, sprinkled with the crumble and a generous scoop of the cream cheese ice cream.
