Lemon & Lime Souffle (serves 4):

Ingredients:

Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lime
60g Caster sugar, plus 1 tablespoon extra
1 Tablespoon corn flour
2 Egg whites
Extra caster sugar for dusting
½ Cup crème fraiche

Equipment:

Non-slip mat
Chopping board
Knife
Baking tray
Small saucepan
Mixing bowls
Spatula
Whisk
4x One-cup capacity ramekins

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190oC.

2. Combine lemon juice, lime juice, 60g sugar and corn flour in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to the boil over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining one tablespoon sugar and continue to whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold through the citrus syrup.
