Method

You’ll need: oven · grater

1. Carefully grease two ovenproof soufflé ramekins with the butter.
2. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan).
3. Zest the lime and squeeze out the juice. Stir both into the low-fat quark with the yacon syrup.
4. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and gently fold them into the quark mixture.
5. Fill the ramekins to the brim, smooth the tops and bake the soufflés for 15 min without opening the oven door.

Good to know

Soufflé is often seen as tricky. But with low-fat quark and stiffly whisked egg whites, this fluffy little wonder almost makes itself.

Swaps

Unwaxed lime → unwaxed lemon (works exactly the same and gives a lovely flavour).

Cooking tips

Never open the oven door while it's baking! The cold draught makes the delicate soufflé collapse instantly.

Storage

Must be served hot straight after baking. It won't hold if left to stand.
