What Is A Souffle?

The word “souffle” is a French name and it simply means “to breath” or “to puff”…which is exactly what happens while baking in the oven.

A souffle is a baked egg-based dish that can be either savory or sweet, and can be combined with a number of other ingredients to make it a delicious treat!

What Ingredients Do I Need To Make Peanut Butter Souffle?

Should I Serve A Souffle Hot Or Cold?

A souffle can be served hot or cold. I personally prefer a hot souffle, especially with this peanut butter souffle recipe, but it is still very tasty cold.

How Do I Know When My Souffle Is Cooked?

Souffles can be tricky in that you cannot test for doneness with a toothpick as you would a cake.

Reason being is you don’t want the middle of your souffle to be dry. It is supposed to be moist and creamy on the inside.

The best way to check for doneness is to make sure the tops and sides are nicely browned and it should have risen a bit during cooking time.

If you do test it with a knife, the blade should be wet, but not runny.

If you discover that the middle is too wobbly and runny, go ahead and cook for a few more minutes.

Do not be alarmed by the somewhat “uncooked” look in the center of your souffle. This is perfectly normal and it will be such a treat to enjoy.

Steps To Prepare A Sugar Free Peanut Butter Souffle

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
To the egg whites, add salt and vanilla and mix until fluffy and soft peaks form.
To the egg yolks, add sweetener and peanut butter.
Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk/peanut butter mixture until combined.
Pour evenly into 2 greased ramekins.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Serve immediately if desired.

What Size Ramekins Should I Use For Souffle?

The basic size of ramekin that most recipes call for is the 6 ounce ramekin.

It should be shaped deep so your souffle comes out perfectly!

Making Souffles Ahead Of Time

Did you know that you can make several soufflés up to 2-3 days ahead of time?

It’s true. Make as many as you need, cover and store in the refrigerator…then set them out at room temperature for a bit before baking.

This is a great tip when having company or a party!

How To Store Leftover Peanut Butter Souffle

You can cover your souffle with a piece of aluminum foil to hold in the moisture and keep it on the counter for up to 2 hours.

If you want to refrigerate it, go ahead and cover it with plastic wrap or put leftovers in an airtight container. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing souffle is also an option. Keep the leftovers in a freezer bag or container and it can last in the freezer for up to one month.

To reheat, simply thaw your souffle, and bake in the oven for about 5-6 minutes. You can also use a microwave if that is easier for you.

This Souffle Recipe Is Trim Healthy Mama-friendly

Yes, you read that correctly! If you follow the THM lifestyle, you’ll be happy to know that you can eat this healthy treat without guilt.

It is low carb and sugar free, making it an S dessert.

If you have no clue what Trim Healthy Mama is, you can find out more about it by reading their Plan book.

Otherwise, just know that this recipe is healthy and tasty and so good for you!

Calorie Dense Dessert

You will notice in the nutritional information that this recipe makes 2 soufflés.

One souffle is considered a serving, yet you can always cut that one in half because this dessert is rather rich and calorie heavy.

This is one of those recipes that can be saved for a special time, maybe an “at-home” date night with your favorite person.

I definitely would not recommend having this dessert too often simply because it is higher in calories…but you can choose what is right for your body!

Can I Use Other Sweeteners In This Recipe?

Of course you can use your sweetener of choice.

To keep this recipe sugar free and low carb, I chose to use a healthy sweetener, and one of my favorites, Lakanto Monkfruit golden sweetener.

If you do not have that particular sweetener on hand, you may use a sweetener that measures like sugar cup for cup.

Swerve brown sugar would be a good one as well.

If you have the THM sweeteners (Gentle Sweet & Super Sweet), I would start out with less.

If using Gentle Sweet, start with about 1/2 of the amount called for, and if using Super Sweet, start with even less…probably about 1/3 of the amount called for since it is much sweeter than Gentle Sweet.
