How to Make Neiman Marcus Mandarin Orange Souffle

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.
Remove from heat and stir in the mandarin orange segments, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the orange mixture into the whipped egg whites until just combined.
Pour the mixture into individual ramekins or a larger mold.
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.)
Once chilled, carefully unmold the soufflé onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional mandarin orange segments and fresh mint, if desired.
