Spiced Pear Souffle
Report
This spiced pear soufflé is (low-key) the best fall dessert. It's fluffy, airy, and the coziest combination of pears and warming spices.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon room temperature butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar (or other granulated sugar)
- 2 large pears peeled, cored and quartered
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot flour
- 3 teaspoons water
- 4 egg whites room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the inside of six 6-ounce ramekins with butter. Lightly dust with coconut sugar or another granulated sugar. Place on a baking tray and set aside.
- Place the pear and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until pureed and smooth.
- In a small pot on medium heat, add the pureed pear, one tablespoon of honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Stir and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
- While the puree is simmering, stir together the arrowroot flour and water in a separate small bowl, to create a slurry.
- Pour the slurry into the pear puree and continue simmering and stirring for another 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Pour the puree into a large bowl (as more will be added to it shortly) and place it in the fridge to cool.
- After the puree has cooled, place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add the remaining two tablespoons of honey, beating until slightly glossy.
- Stir ⅓ of the egg whites into the puree, until well combined. Don't worry about deflating the egg whites with the first addition. Gently fold in another ⅓ of the egg whites until combined, but not over-mixed. And repeat for the last ⅓ of egg whites. It's okay if light streaks of white remain.
- Spoon the mixture into the ramekins, level the top with a knife, and bake for 11 to 14 minutes, until slightly puffed up and lightly golden on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Note that there might be a little bit of spiced pear liquid that pools in the bottom of the ramekin. That's normal.
- If you find that your souffle didn't rise, make sure you don't overmix your egg whites with the puree. It's okay to have some slight streaks of white in the mixture.
