Caribbean Lime Soufflé
This recipe is taken from the 1980 Milk Calendar. Hot sun, ripe fruit and days spent at the beach- this time of the year Canada takes on some of the lovelier aspects of the West Indies. The islands are known for their easy-going style, and that is the way to approach warm weather food preparation.
This lime soufflé makes a light summer cooler.

Preparation
Sprinkle gelatin over milk in a small saucepan. Let stand 5 min to soften. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin dissolves; cool.
Beat together egg yolks and sugar. Add limeade concentrate, lime juice and food colouring. Stir in milk mixture. Chill until mixture is thick enough to mound from a spoon.
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry. Whip cream until softly stiff. Fold both into gelatine mixture. Turn into a 5-cup (1.25 L) soufflé dish which has been extended with a 2-inch (5 cm) foil collar.
Chill until set. Remove collar to serve and garnish with fruit if desired.
