Banana Daiquiri Souffle

2 envelopes unflavored gelatine
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup rum
2 tablespoons banana-flavored liqueur
4 bananas, diced
1/4 cup lime juice, divided (see below)
1 1/2 cups whipping cream, whipped
1 banana, sliced

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, gelatine and salt in saucepan; set aside.

Combine egg yolks and water, mixing well; stir into gelatine mixture. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat; add lime rind, 1/4 cup lime juice, rum and banana liqueur. Chill. Stir occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Toss diced bananas with 3 tablespoons lime juice. Gently fold beaten egg whites, diced bananas, and whipped cream into gelatine mixture. Spoon mixture into 1 1/2 quart souffl dish. Chill until firm.

Toss sliced banana with remaining tablespoon of lime juice; arrange over top of souffle.
