This Tri-color (orange-white-green) Souffle is one dish which could be made individually as well as in a combined form like this. I made this souffle for the Independence day meet-up organized by Anita Mokashi.This is one recipe which needs negligible cooking and hardly any churning unlike in setting ice-creams. Also , it is vesatile in nature and you could try this souffle with mangoes, strawberries, coconut, chocolate, apples ,grapes etc.. Just name it and you will be able to make a souffle out of it.Not only with fruits, it could be made with some vegetables too like yam,potato, spinach,broccoli,corn,ginger, lemon etc.

5. Orange Juice(fresh or store bought) – 2 cups (I used fresh ,hence it was little orangish yellow)
6. Saffron strands (kesar) – for garnishing

METHOD:
| Preparation time : 15 + 15 + 15 mins | Cooking time : 5 mins | Serves 48 shot cups |
Green Layer :
1. For this layer, take 2 ripe and green kiwis. The Golden ones are yellowish in color from inside. So make sure you pick the kiwis which have lots of hair and are green from inside. Also choose a green avoacado, take a ripe one. For avocado , just remove the top eye and check whether it is brown,green or yellowish green. The right one is yellowish green.
2. Mash these fruits in a blender to form a fruit crush or puree.
3. Heat drinking water in a pan for 2 mins till it comes to a rolling boil. Now break the strands of Agar-agar and add them to the boiling water . Stir them with a spoon till it dissolves. After about 5 mins when it has dissolved completely turn off the heat.
4. Now add whipping cream to the fruit blend and stir them nicely.
5. Add the sugar and lemon juice also to it according to your taste or depending on the sourness of the fruits. We add lemon juice only to avoid blackening of avocados.
6. Since we have added avocado we need very less amount of cream here. You may totally skip the cream and add just avocados for the creamy texture. Once all is mixed well add the hot agar water mix to the mixture.
7. If you want to enhance the color of your souffle you may add store bought Gel food color -green to it. I however, avoid using colors as far as possible.
8. Once all the ingredients are blended well, start pouring your souffle in shot cups/glass mugs/moulds etc in which ever shape and size you would like to set them.
9. Place these containers in the refrigerator for almost 2 or more than 2 hours. Once it is set it will not move on shaking the glass lightly. Also wrap them in cling plastic wrap to avoid any impurities from settling in.

White layer :
1. For this layer , you may use 3-4 medium size bananas. As a first step,prepare the gelatin by following step 3 from above. Since agar-agar is a veg Gelatin ,it is perfect for all vegetarians. It is a kind of sea-weed which has gelatinous properties. If you leave the hot solution in the pan, it will set in the pan itself.You may either prepare it beforehand or make it ad hoc.

  1. Once you are done with the gelatin, peel the bananas and cut them into small pieces. Now quickly mash them to avoid any browning.
  2. Add a few drops of lemon juice and honey while blending them. Also add the coconut milk or cream and blend them to a smooth paste or smoothie.
  3. Next add the prepared gelatin and stir well.

  4. Now quickly pour it on the previously set green layer and again wrap the containers with cling wrap.

  5. Refrigerate them for another 2 hours.

Orange Layer:
1. For this layer take out 2 cups fresh orange juice or use store bought orange juice. For making 2 cups juice I took almost 8 cuties/small nectarines.
2. You may make the gelatin by following “step 3 from green layer” in the meanwhile.
3. Also thaw the vanilla Ice-cream for 40-50 seconds before blending.
4. Now take a bowl and add vanilla ice-cream, orange juice and agar solution and blend everything together. Also you may use Orange Jello gelatin for making this gelatin . But again ,since I prefer pure vegetarian, I used agar -agar for making the gelatin.
5. You may add orange gel color by adding 2 drops of red and 4 drops of yellow to it to enhance the color. But again I used minimal, since I wanted it to be natural.
6. Once all the ingredients are blended well add it over your previously set white banana layer .
7. Garnish it with saffron strands and again cover them with a clind wrap or keep in closed containers to avoid any contamination.
