Description
If you won't have a pumpkin pie, then you must have a pumpkin souffle this Thanksgiving. Nothing beats the light and fluffy yet custardy lightly spiced dessert with all the flavors of fall in a spoon full
Ingredients
Custard base
- 2 Eggs separated
- 2 tbsp (24 g) White sugar divided
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp Cream cheese Or more pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp Butter melted
- 2 tbsp (30 g) All-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (180 ml) Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp Salt divided
- ½ tsp Pumpkin spice
- ¼ tsp Ground ginger (optional)
- ⅛ tsp Nutmeg freshly grated
Instructions
- Oven - Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C/ Gas Mark 3
- Ramekins - Butter and sugar 6 x 6-oz ramekins or 3 x 10-oz ramekins. Alternatively, you can use one large 6-inch ceramic baking pan for family-size souffle and adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Custard - In a heavy-bottom saucepan combine - egg yolks, half the sugar, and half the salt, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, vanilla, flour, milk. Cook over medium-low heat stirring continuously until thickened and reduced to 1/3 its original amount. Set aside to cool to just warmPro tip - keep the heat to medium-low otherwise the eggs will curdle. Thickening the custard will make sure the souffle is thick, not liquid when baked.
- Meringue - In a bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip together egg whites with the remaining sugar and salt until you have almost stiff peaksPro tip- add the sugar gradually to help whip a good volume in the meringue.
- Assemble -Fold the cooled (barely warm) custard base with the prepared meringue. Divided between the prepared ramekins. Level the tops with a spoon.
- Bake - Place them on a baking tray, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden on top. The center will still be wobbly and custardy.
- Serve - These are served as soon as they come out of the oven. Dust with powdered sugar before you serve.
