Brown Bread Soufflé with Fruits
Soufflé de Pain bis aux Fruits
Take one pint of freshly-made brown bread crumbs, eight tablespoonfuls of Marshall’s Kirsch Syrup, a teaspoonful of vanilla essence, and half a wineglass of brandy or Silver Rays (white) rum; let the crumbs steep in this a quarter of an hour, then mix with it one quart of stiffly-whipped cream and six stiffly-whipped whites of eggs that have been mixed with three ounces of cane sugar that has been boiled for five minutes, then one and a half ounces of water; stir all together, then pour the mixture into a soufflé case which is surrounded by a band of paper standing three inches higher than the case, in the centre of which a bottle has been placed; put the soufflé in the charged ice cave for three and a half to four hours, then remove the bottle, using a hot, wet knife to loosen it from the soufflé, and fill up the space thus formed with an iced macedoine of fruits (see recipe); remove the paper from the outside of the case and garnish the top of the soufflé by means of a bag and rose pipe, with stiffly-whipped cream flavoured with vanilla and slightly coloured with Marshall’s Liquid Carmine. Dish up the soufflé, and serve for a dinner sweet.
The above quantities are sufficient to make a soufflé for fourteen to sixteen people.
