How to Make Neiman Marcus Mandarin Orange Souffle

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the mandarin orange segments, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the orange mixture into the whipped egg whites until just combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into individual ramekins or a larger mold.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the soufflé to set completely. (This is the 'cooking time' mentioned in the original recipe.)
  7. Once chilled, carefully unmold the soufflé onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional mandarin orange segments and fresh mint, if desired.
