Banana Daiquiri Souffl�

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup light or medium rum
1/3 cup lime juice
3 cups mashed ripe bananas
1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Garnish
1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped
Banana slices
Lime slices

Prepare a 6-cup souffl� dish with a 3-inch collar. Cut a piece of wax paper 12 inches wide and 4 inches longer than the circumference of dish. Fold lengthwise into thirds. Place it around top of dish and secure with tape or string.

In small saucepan, combine gelatin, 1/2 cup sugar and salt.

Beat together egg yolks and water; add to gelatin mixture. Stir constantly over low heat until gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add rum and lime juice. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened slightly.

In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Fold in slightly thickened gelatin mixture and mashed bananas; gently fold in whipped cream. Turn prepared souffl� dish. Chill until firm.

To serve, remove collar and garnish with whipped cream, sliced banana and lime.

Makes 10 servings.
