Blueberry Soufflé

These souffles use frozen blueberries which create a vibrant purple colour and delicious fruity flavour. Dust with icing sugar and serve straight from the oven. If you are not baking the soufflé immediately you can fill the ramekins with the mixture and rest in the fridge for a couple of hours. Bake in a preheated oven and add a couple of minutes onto the cooking time.
