Frozen lemon soufflé, a delight for the eyes and the palate.
For a few years now, I’ve been serving it as the closing dessert at Christmas Eve dinner. Light and lemon-scented, it’s perfect as the conclusion of a rather rich lunch or dinner. Inspired by a Cannavacciuolo recipe, fresh and light but absolutely delicious, the ingredients are few: cream and lemon, but very fresh.
It is prepared quite quickly and is not particularly difficult to make. The presentation is rather spectacular and can be decorated with small meringues and fresh fruit. Let yourself be tempted by this wonder

Frozen Lemon Soufflé Steps
Whip the cream until soft peaks form and place it in the refrigerator
Beat the egg white with 40g of sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the yolk with the remaining sugar. Soak the gelatin in cold water, squeeze it well, and dissolve it in 3 tablespoons of hot milk
Combine all the mixtures, gently folding with a spatula from top to bottom. Add the grated zest and juice of half a lemon. Pour the cream into a round mold about 6 inches in diameter, lined with damp parchment paper, level the mixture with a spatula, and place it in the freezer for about 4 hours
Unmold the soufflé and place it on a serving plate, decorate with crumbled meringue that I applied around the dessert and also a little on top, and garnish with fresh fruit
