They may be light as air, but these tender soufflés -- flavored with fresh pineapple purée and topped with a small scoop of spiced Thai curry ice cream -- are rich in color and flavor, and make for a dramatic presentation.

The dessert, from Gordon Ramsay at the London in West Hollywood, recently caught the eye of assistant Food editor Betty Hallock. "These soufflés have such spectacular flavor. I love the contrasts of the textures too, light-as-air soufflé with the rich, creamy ice cream."
