Doesn't it feel great to eliminate a step in a classic recipe and have the new one turn out better? I was actually working on something I was going to call "cheesecake souffle," and since I was adding cream cheese to the base, I decided to skip the classic white sauce, and simply smear everything together.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons white sugar , or as needed
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
2
Brush butter on the bottom and up the sides of two 5 1/2-ounce ramekins. Scoop in some sugar; rotate ramekins to coat while pouring most of the sugar back into its container. Place ramekins on a shallow baking pan.
-
3
Separate eggs between 2 bowls. Add sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese to the yolks. Mix the souffle base with a spatula until sugar and flour disappear.
-
4
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the room-temperature egg whites. Beat with a whisk until soft peaks form; peaks should hold their shape but not be stiff or dry. Stir and fold 1/2 of the egg whites into the souffle base until combined. Gently fold the rest of the egg whites into the batter.
-
5
Fill ramekins up to the lip with the batter.
-
6
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

This is my family's favorite dessert, whether we are at home or camping! This is especially yummy when served warm with vanilla ice cream. White cake mix works as well as yellow.

This pecan tarts recipe makes eight individual mini tarts. I like to top them with fresh cream and chopped caramelized pecans for an elegant dessert.
Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins
When we started a gluten-free, casein-free diet for my son, I desperately needed a good muffin recipe. This is it! These gluten-free, dairy-free (watch ingredients on chocolate chips!) muffins are the best my family has tasted. My 6-year-old would eat these all day if I let him.
