Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Lightly butter four individual soufflé dishes and sprinkle a little caster sugar in each. Shake the dishes to coat the insides evenly with caster sugar.

Step 2

Press the blackberries through a medium sieve into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and caster sugar to the thick puree of blackberries.

Taste and add a squeeze more lemon juice if necessary: it should taste very fruity but quite sharp. Chill well.

Put 1 dessertspoon of blackberry puree in the bottom of each souffle dish.

Step 3

In a perfectly clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, until they form stiff peaks. Fold in half the caster sugar and whisk to form stiff, glossy peaks. Repeat with the remaining sugar.

Step 4

Using a balloon whisk, carefully fold in the blackberry puree until evenly mixed. Pile into the soufflé dishes.

Smooth the sides and top with a palette knife, allowing the mixture to stand about 2 cm/ ¾ inch above the rims.

Step 5

Bake until well risen and golden, about 4-5 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.

Some blackberry sorbet would be a rather nice accompaniment.
