This is another one of my quick and easy dessert recipes which can be whipped up in under 15 minutes. It’s not exactly a soufflé in the strict sense of the word but I decided to name it thus since it has a light and airy texture like a soufflé. You can say it’s a no-bake, eggless soufflé.
The recipe can be easily tweaked to make other fruit flavored souffles. I have tried it with orange juice and orange jelly crystals to make Orange Souffle and it tasted equally delicious.

Thanks and same to you.
Awesome one. Just loved the dish so much delicious. Will surely prepare it and will also share the feedback with u.
I think the name of your dessert is misleading. A soufflé is more like a cake that is baked. This is more of a frozen dessert.
Yes, you are right that technically, soufflés are sweet or savory French baked dishes containing eggs. However, in modern cuisine and parlance no-bake, eggless desserts have often been termed as soufflés because of their light, airy texture just the way traditional New York Style baked cheesecakes as well as no-bake, eggless cheesecakes are both referred to as cheesecakes.
If you do an Internet search for terms as such as mango soufflé, no-bake orange soufflé etc. you will find many similar recipes which do not contain eggs and do not need to be baked in ramekins.
