Discover the recipe for a soft and aromatic orange soufflé. An elegant and refined dessert that will surprise your guests with its intense citrus flavor and lightness. Add a touch of cinnamon or vanilla powder to the batter and garnish the soufflé with candied orange zest for a truly exquisite dish!
In a saucepan, mix the milk with the flour until smooth and lump-free.
Add the sugar and sieved orange pulp to the batter, then cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly before incorporating the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt to stabilize them.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the orange mixture, being careful not to deflate them.
Pour the mixture into a buttered or parchment-lined porcelain baking dish.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes, without ever opening the door during cooking to prevent the soufflé from deflating.
Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy its maximum fluffiness.
Notes
For an original and even more aromatic touch, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla powder to the batter and garnish the soufflé before serving with candied orange zest or a dusting of powdered sugar.
