Orange Soufflé in a Jiffy

 

  

Stressed is Desserts spelt backwards, so get destressed with my Orange Soufflé in a Jiffy!

I can do without Indian mithai but I cannot do without dessert; in fact you could call me a dessertarian! Desserts are my weakness and a rare indulgence these days. At one time when the kids were home and I was throwing lunches and dinners, thinking up a new and easy dessert were quite easy.

Now I have to go back in time to recollect what all I used to conjure up in a jiffy. My husband had a sweet tooth of course but more than that he loved to entertain. I used to cook and he loved to serve!

We have harsh summers and the easiest way to cool down is by drowning in cool sorbets and frozen desserts. This Orange Soufflé is my easy version, doing away with the complicated gelatin one.
