Ideal for special occasions or a dinner party centerpiece, this recipe hits the sweet spot between luxury and simplicity.
Prepare six 6-ounce ramekins by wrapping a strip of parchment paper around the outside of each ramekin, extending about 2 inches above the rim. Secure the parchment with tape or kitchen twine. This will give the soufflés their signature risen shape even though they are frozen.
In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and egg yolks. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a double boiler, and whisk constantly until the mixture becomes thick and pale, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon. Let cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled maple and bourbon mixture. Set aside.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while beating, continuing until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the maple, bourbon, and cream mixture. Fold carefully to maintain the light and airy texture.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each to just above the rim of the ramekin. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer to the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. The soufflés can be made up to 2 days in advance.
Before serving, carefully remove the parchment paper collars from the ramekins. Lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.
