Chilled Bird’s Milk Soufflé with Chocolate Glaze
A chilled gelatin and milk soufflé rests under a thin chocolate glaze.
A chilled gelatin and milk soufflé rests under a thin chocolate glaze. The source calls it a cake but lists no sponge, so this card makes the dessert itself. Its whites are uncooked: use commercially pasteurized whites and keep the dessert cold. Divide the measured sugar between milk and whites, then let the filling set before glazing. Sprinkle gelatin over 60 ml cold milk from the measured amount; wait 10 minutes. Warm remaining milk with half the sugar and vanilla; dissolve gelatin, then cool. Beat pasteurized whites with remaining sugar to glossy peaks. Fold cool milk into whites and chill in a lined dish at least 4 hours. Melt chocolate with butter, cool until barely warm, spread on set soufflé and chill 1 hour.
