I had a few lemons in the cooler so I went searching for a dessert. I came up with a frozen souffle. I've never been a big fan of a regular souffle. I don't think that they're much of a dessert and making them seems like more trouble then they're worth. The frozen version was much simpler.A frozen souffle is basically a mousse (meringue, flavoring and whipped cream) that is frozen. You get the souffle, or risen, effect by wrapping something firm around the souffle cup and filling it with mousse. I used a strip of cellophane that extended above the top of the cup. After freezing, the wrapping is removed and the frozen souffle appears to have risen. The happy thought is that it isn't as likely to fall as a regular souffle!
The consistency isn't as smooth as good ice cream but it is still a nice summer dessert. I think I'll flavor the next ones with liqueurs. That should put me in the party spirit.
