Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon soufflé
What is a lemon soufflé made of?
A lemon soufflé is made with eggs, sugar, lemon juice or zest, and a thickened base such as pastry cream. Whipped egg whites give it its airy rise, so they are folded in gently just before baking.
How do you make a lemon soufflé?
To make a lemon soufflé, mix a lemon-flavoured base with egg yolks, then gently fold in separately whipped egg whites. Spoon the mixture into prepared ramekins and bake in a preheated oven until risen and lightly set.
Why does a lemon soufflé sink after baking?
A lemon soufflé naturally sinks as it cools because the hot air and steam that lifted it escape. Serve it straight from the oven if you want to enjoy its full height; a slight collapse does not mean it was made incorrectly.
Why won't my lemon soufflé rise?
A lemon soufflé may not rise if the egg whites are under-whipped, over-whipped, or folded in too roughly. Make sure the bowl is grease-free, whip the whites to firm peaks, and fold them into the lemon base without deflating them.
Can you make lemon soufflé without ramekins?
Yes, you can bake a lemon soufflé in another small, straight-sided ovenproof dish. Grease and sugar the sides, and avoid filling the dish to the rim so the mixture has room to rise.
How do you stop a lemon soufflé from cracking?
A lemon soufflé can crack when its surface dries or the oven is too hot. Bake it at the recipe’s stated temperature, avoid opening the oven door early, and expect a small surface crack as the soufflé rises.
Can you prepare lemon soufflé ahead of time?
You can prepare the baking dishes and lemon base ahead, but fold in the whipped egg whites just before baking. The assembled mixture loses air while it sits, which can leave the lemon soufflé flatter and denser.
How do you know when a lemon soufflé is done?
A lemon soufflé is ready when it has risen, the top is lightly golden, and the edges look set. The centre can still have a little movement; baking until it is completely firm can make the texture heavy.
What should you serve with lemon soufflé?
Lemon soufflé is lovely served plain with a light dusting of icing sugar. Fresh berries, a spoonful of softly whipped cream, or a little berry coulis pair well with its bright citrus flavour without overwhelming it.
Can you freeze lemon soufflé?
Freezing a baked lemon soufflé is not recommended because thawing makes its delicate, airy texture soggy. For the best result, bake only what you plan to serve and enjoy it soon after it comes out of the oven.

What is Lemon soufflé?
Lemon soufflé is a baked dessert flavoured with lemon juice and zest. Beaten egg whites are folded into a sweet base, often made with egg yolks and a little flour, so it rises in the oven and stays soft and airy inside. It is best served soon after baking, while the top is puffed and the centre is still tender.
In France, where soufflés are a familiar part of cooking, it may follow a meal as a light dessert; elsewhere, it also suits afternoon tea or a dinner-party menu. Its nutrition is mainly carbohydrate, with a modest amount of protein; it provides 205 kcal per 100 g. Serve a smaller portion with fresh berries or other fruit for a bright, balanced finish.
