Fluffy Soufflé Ice Cream Cups

Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.

A frozen soufflé is a fancy dessert that looks as if it puffed up out of its dish. The paper collar is the trick, and kids love peeling it off for the reveal.

Make it a learning moment: folding air into the ice cream makes it lighter. Weigh a cup of ice cream before and after to see.

Ingredients

Steps

Kids a child can do this step   Grown-up hot, sharp or tricky

  1. Kids Leave the ice cream out for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Kids Wrap a strip of parchment around each cup so it stands about an inch above the rim, and tape it.
  3. Kids Stir the ice cream until smooth, then fold in the whipped topping.
  4. Kids Fill the cups right up to the top of the paper, then freeze 15 minutes.
  5. Kids Peel off the paper: it looks like it rose above the cup. Add sprinkles.
