1 hour Cooking Time
4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

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