Ingredients
- 20 g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- double cream, to serve
Strawberry coulis
- 500 g strawberries, hulled and halved
- 100 g icing sugar
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 100 ml Triple Sec
Soufflé
- 1 very ripe banana
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 eggwhites, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp white sugar
Instructions
To make the coulis, place all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the strawberries have begun to collapse, then remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender and process until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve, pushing down firmly on the seeds to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the seeds and refrigerate the coulis until ready to serve.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Grease two 240 ml capacity soufflé moulds or ramekins with the melted butter. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar into each ramekin and tilt to coat the base and sides evenly, then tap out the excess sugar.
To make the soufflé mixture, place the banana and honey in a blender and process until smooth. Whisk the egg whites and sugar until firm peaks form. Fold the banana mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined. Divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins, then run your finger around the inside edge of each mould to ensure the soufflés rise evenly. Bake for 9-14 minutes or until golden and risen. The soufflé should rise straight and will go nice and golden as it cooks. Serve immediately with the coulis and double cream.
