It’s a frozen version of an Italian meringue, a soft meringue (beaten egg whites) that has been cooked by slowly pouring hot sugar syrup over it instead of sweetening with granulated sugar. There is also an eggier style of frozen soufflé, based on a Bavarian cream, that cooks the egg yolks with sugar.

For a special Valentine’s Day dessert, it’s easy to make individual Frozen Raspberry Soufflés. Use frozen raspberries to keep the cost down and save the fresh raspberries for garnish. (The dish is not named for the frozen raspberries, but because it’s a frozen soufflé.)
