How to Make Frozen Strawberry Souffle

  1. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored.
  2. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup strawberry puree (made from approximately 1 cup fresh strawberries).
  4. Place the yolk mixture in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  6. Gradually add 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier, stirring until fully incorporated.
  7. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice.
  8. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  9. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F on a candy thermometer).
  10. While the sugar syrup cooks, beat 6 large egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form.
  11. Slowly pour the hot orange syrup into the egg whites, beating constantly until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  12. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the cooled yolk mixture.
  13. Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup strawberry puree.
  14. Gently fold in the meringue until just combined.
  15. Spoon the mixture into a well-oiled and collared 1 1/2-quart souffle dish.
  16. Freeze for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until firm.
  17. Once firm, carefully wrap the souffle in freezer paper, securing the edges with masking tape.
  18. To serve, remove the collar. Press chopped pistachios around the sides of the souffle.
  19. Garnish the top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
  20. Serve immediately with raspberry sauce (see below).
  21. **Raspberry Sauce:** Combine 1 cup thawed raspberries and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier in a blender. Blend until smooth.
