Ingredients

• 3 large Fresh peaches (ripe and peeled)
• 80 grams Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
• 60 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for dusting ramekins)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place an oven rack in the lower third position.

Step 2

Butter the inside of 4 ramekins (6 to 8 ounces each), ensuring full coverage. Dust the ramekins with granulated sugar, tapping out excess. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the peeled peaches and place them in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of peach puree.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine peach puree, 40 grams of granulated sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

Whisk the egg yolks into the peach mixture one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 40 grams of granulated sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the peach mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until the mixture is fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 8

Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each to just below the rim. Run your thumb around the edge of each ramekin to create a small gap; this helps the soufflé rise evenly.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and golden. Do not open the oven door while baking, as this can cause the soufflés to collapse.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.
