"Fluffy melt in your mouth soufflé would be a perfect dessert to impress your guests when you throw a party. Instead of heavy cream use plain yogurt. This soufflé is not too sweet, nor high in calories, yet brings satisfying flavor."

• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 4 8X6cm ramekins
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 35 g all-purpose flour
• 170 ml milk
• 115 g plain yogurt
• 50 g cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 25 g granulated sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 egg whites
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon amaretto liqueur or 1 teaspoon orange liqueur
• 500 ml hot water

directions

1. Grease inside of ramekins with melted butter, then cover inside of ramekin with granulated sugar. This is important for your soufflé to rise evenly.
2. Preheat oven to 175 degrees(350F).
3. Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
4. In a small pan, combine milk, plain yogurt and cream cheese warm but do not boil.
5. Just before it comes to the boil turn down the heat to a low heat.
6. Add flour and salt to the pan little by little. When it is mixed well, keep stirring over low heat until it thickens like a custard cream.
7. Turn off the heat and add butter.
8. Add egg yolks and whisk well.
9. Add vanilla essence and liqueur.
10. In another mixing bowl, whip egg whites and add granulated sugar little by little to form soft peaks.
11. Mix 1/4 meringue completely into the mixture.
12. Combine the rest of meringue folding from the underneath so that you won't crush meringue.
13. Fill ramekins to about eight-tenths full.
14. Place ramekins into a baking pan and fill the pan with boiled water until the water is 3cm deep.
15. Bake for 25 minutes at 175 degrees.
16. Serve right away! (soufflé deflates within a few minutes).
