Fluffy Yogurt Soufflé Pie Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Yolks
In a mixing bowl, separate the room temperature eggs into yolks and whites. Add the sugar to the yolks and whisk until the sugar crystals dissolve and the mixture turns pale and creamy.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
To the yolk mixture, add the baking powder and starch, mixing well. Then, pour in the yogurt and stir until everything is combined into a smooth batter. Your soufflé base is almost ready!
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy and soft peaks form. This should take about 15 minutes. The egg whites should be glossy and hold their shape when you lift the beaters.
Step 4: Fold in the Egg Whites
Gently pour the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture. Using a spatula, carefully fold the whites into the yolk batter, being cautious not to deflate the mixture. You want to maintain that airy consistency!
Step 5: Bake the Soufflé Pie
Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour the soufflé batter into the prepared tray. Place it in an oven preheated to 170°C (340°F) and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and carefully take off the baking paper. Let it cool slightly before dusting it generously with powdered sugar.
Step 7: Slice and Enjoy!
Cut the soufflé pie into pieces and serve it warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea. It’s sure to be a hit!

- Don’t Rush the Whipping: Make sure to beat the egg whites until they are at the right consistency; this is key for a light soufflé.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the yolk mixture for an extra flavor boost!
