  • 0.5 cup sweetened, flaked coconut
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.33333334326744 cup celery tops
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon curry powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 0.5 pound crabmeat
  • 6 egg whites, stiffly beaten
  • 0.25 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and generously butter an 8 cup souffle dish.
  • Toast coconut in a non-stick skillet on low heat.
  • In a medium skillet, gently melt butter and add celery, garlic, curry powder, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in flour until smooth for about 1 minute. Pour in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time. Stir in coconut and crab meat.
  • In a medium bowl, whip egg whites and lemon juice with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/4 of the whites into the crab mixture, then quickly and gently fold in the rest. Be careful not to lose volume. Transfer the mixture to a souffle dish and place it on the bottom rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until beautifully golden, puffed, and perfectly moist inside.
