Low Calorie Pineapple Souffle
Ingredients:
Crushed Pineapple: I put chunks of pineapple in my food processor and pulsed it on high until smooth. You will need 2 and a half cups worth.
Eggs: They eggs are the major component in this dish. They make a souffle a souffle. Ha.
Flour: I used all-purpose flour. It’s really not enough in here to really account for anything.
Butter: Melt the butter for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir in while its still melted.
Sugar: I guess you could* substitute for a different type of sugar. However, it’s only two tablespoons in this recipe. I decided to keep it original.
Lemon Juice: I used juice of half of a lemon. DO NOT forget to remove your seeds. You don’t want chunks of bitter lemon seed in your smooth souffle.
Souffle 101: The Eggs
A major component to any souffle is the eggs. Souffles are mainly egg based dishes. They actually don’t always have to be the cute desserts we all think they are. They can actually be savory dishes as well. Once you have crushed your pineapple, you will need to beat the eggs. You could always do this with an electric hand mixer or you could beat them by hand with a whisk. You want to beat the three eggs until they are light, airy and fluffy. See the image above. You want them to be foamy and bubbly.
Once you beat your eggs, you’ll mix in all of your remaining ingredients. Lastly, I put in my lemon juice. Don’t forget to remove the seeds!
Add the batter to your small dishes. Here, I used cocottes but you could use a souffle dish or individual ramekins. This batter makes about 6 servings. My individual pots I used are 4oz, and I filled them up about 3/4 of the way full. You’ll bake these for about 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll see the edges starting to char, and bubble and you’ll know they are done.
Pineapple…Side Dish?
So, these decadently cute desserts do not have to strictly dessert. People have actually been serving these for ages with many holiday savory dishes. This works so well especially with ham dishes.
Serve while it’s hot!
To me, this dessert is best while it is still hot. Be care and don’t bur yourself on the dish! Here are a few ideas for toppings:
Powdered sugar
Whipped topping
Fresh Pineapple
Maraschino Cherries
What a cute dessert!
What I love so much about this recipe is that it makes the individual servings. These are just so much extra being served from a ramekin or a cocotte. Everyone loves something tiny that’s their own. Here is another delicious and low calorie dessert that is made in individual servings!
