Paleo Strawberry Pudding Souffles

Did you know making soufflés isn’t difficult? They seem really intimidating, and I think it’s because when a door slams on a cartoon where someone’s baking, there’s a soufflé in the oven that sinks in the middle.

THE RECIPE
- 18 ounces fresh or frozen (and thawed) strawberries
- 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 5 egg whites, divided (store 2 together and 3 together if you crack the eggs all at once)
- 6 Tablespoons raw honey, divided
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and gather some ramekins (large ones) and place them on a cookie sheet.
- Puree the strawberries in a food processor or blender. Strain out the seeds.
- Put strawberries in the bowl of a stand mixer with the lemon juice, 2 egg whites, and 3 Tablespoons of honey. Beat on medium-high speed for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture is very light and frothy and almost fills the bowl.
- Meanwhile, beat the other three egg whites in a separate bowl until it begins to get frothy. While beating, slowly add in the honey and beat until the whites form stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the strawberry mixture. Divide souffle fluff into ramekins — fill them full. (Do not grease the ramekins.) I have no idea how many you will use. I used about 9, but they were all different sizes. The original recipe says “6 servings”, and I believe it would fill 6 10-ounce ramekin cups. Maybe 7.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the souffles rise high above the ramekins and the tops are golden brown like a toasted marshmallow.
- Cool slightly and serve immmediately. You can also let them cool on the counter (they will fall… it’s normal), cover with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for a couple of days. They won’t puff back up when you heat them up, and to be quite honest, we liked them better cold!
