  •   30 mins Prep Time
  •   1 hour Cooking Time
  •   4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 Eggs
  • 2/3rd Cup brown sugar
  • ½ Cup strong brewed black coffee, cooled down
  • 1 tbsp Gelatine
  • 3/4th Cup white sugar
  • 1/4th Cup water
  • 1/4th Cup blanched almonds

INSTRUCTION

  • Cut a sheet of baking paper long enough to go around the base for preparing soufflé dish.
  • Fold baking paper in half. Secure the paper with string around the outside of the soufflé bowl, forming a high collar. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Place egg yolks, brown sugar and 1/4 cup of coffee into a heatproof bowl.
  • Place over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk for 6 minutes or until mixture becomes thick and frothy. Then remove from heat.
  • Pour remaining 1/4 cup coffee into a heatproof jug and sprinkle gelatine.
  • Place the jug on saucepan and stir with a fork until dissolved.
  • Add warm gelatine mixture to warm custard mixture (mixtures must both be at the same temperature while combining to prevent lumps from forming).
  • Beat cream to soft peaks. In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold cream and praline through custard mixture. Gently fold egg whites through custard mixture.
  • Carefully pour this mixture into the soufflé bowl. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  • Carefully remove collar from soufflé. Sprinkle with reserved praline. Spoon into bowls. Serve.

Stir for 3 – 4 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and bring it to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden.

Add almonds. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden brown.

Pour over baking tray. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Break it and put in a food processor until roughly chopped.
