How to make Baked Pistachio Souffle

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170 degree Celsius

Step 2

Add the egg whites to a bowl. Add powdered sugar in batches and whisk well. Keep whisking until soft peaks are formed.

Step 3

Boil 1 cup of water in a pan. Bring to a boil, add the pistachios to it, simmer for half a minute and switch off the heat. Let the pistachios stay soaked for another minute in hot water. Now drain the water and collect the blanched pistachios in a bowl. Let them cool down and add them to a blender. Now blend to form a paste. Add water as per need to make a smooth but thick paste.

Step 4

Add the pistachio paste to the sugar-egg mixture. Fold it in using the cut & fold method. Do not let the fluffed-up egg whites collapse.

Step 5

Take soufflé moulds or ramekins and grease them with some butter. Pour the mixture till just half a centimeter short of the brim and run the thumb along the edges to help it rise freely while baking.

Step 6

Bake at 170 degrees for 4 to 5 minutes till it rises at least 2-3 cm from the brim and the top has turned light golden-brown colour.

Step 7

Decorate the Souffles with pistachio flakes and serve. Enjoy!
