- strawberries – 500 g;
- powdered sugar – 180-200 g;
- gelatin (quick-dissolving) – 30 g;
- lemon juice – 1 tsp (optional).
Preparation
- To prepare the strawberry soufflé with gelatin, select ripe strawberries (it’s better not to use damaged or crushed berries). Rinse them under water, place in a colander to drain excess liquid, and then remove the stems.
- Blend the washed strawberries using a blender until a homogeneous (without pieces of berries) strawberry puree forms. If desired, to avoid seeds in the soufflé, the puree can be strained through a sieve.
- Pour the resulting strawberry puree into a saucepan or deep skillet, sprinkle in the quick-dissolving gelatin, mix well, and let it sit for 15 – 20 minutes, stirring it occasionally. During this time, the gelatin should swell, and the strawberry mixture should thicken.
- When the strawberry puree becomes thick, add the powdered sugar, stir, and place it on the heat. Constantly stirring, heat the sweet mixture (do not boil!) until it reaches a liquid state and the gelatin fully dissolves.
- After that, add the lemon juice and stir again. If you want the strawberry soufflé to be less tangy, you can omit the lemon juice, it’s up to you.
- Next, whip the liquid strawberry puree using a mixer (blender or whisk) until airy soufflé forms. During the whipping process, the strawberry mixture should change color and become thick. Remember, the longer you whip the soufflé, the airier it will turn out.
- Pour the prepared soufflé into a rectangular mold, previously lining the bottom and sides with plastic wrap or a bag (this makes it easier to remove the soufflé from the mold). Tap the mold on the table several times to release air bubbles and put it in the refrigerator to set for 3 – 4 hours.
- When the strawberry soufflé with gelatin is set, take it out of the refrigerator, cut it into squares (pieces), and enjoy the aromatic and airy strawberry dessert. It is best to store the strawberry soufflé in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap on top, so it doesn't dry out.
