Ingredients
Pumpkin Souffle:
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 TB cornstarch
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves
- ¾ cup white sugar plus 1 TB, divided
- ¾ cup canned pure pumpkin
- 10 large egg whites
- ¼ tsp fine salt
Molasses Bourbon Sauce*:
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 TB salted butter
- 1 TB pure molasses
- 3 TB water
- 2 TB bourbon
Instructions
Make the Molasses Bourbon Sauce (can be done ahead of time):
- Stir all sauce ingredients, except for Bourbon, in a heavy small saucepan. Cook on medium, stirring frequently, until sauce bubbles. Turn heat down to simmer. Simmer about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add Bourbon, continuing to stir. About 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool at room temp. Sauce will thicken upon standing. If desired, warm up sauce a bit before serving.
Make the Souffle:
- Whisk together the milk, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and 1 TB sugar in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil at medium heat, whisking. Lower heat to simmer. Whisk on simmer another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in pumpkin and let cool to room temp.
- Preheat oven to 400F. Put rack on lower third. Butter ramekins and coat with granulated sugar, shaking off excess. Place prepared ramekins in a large shallow baking pan.
- Beat egg whites with salt in a large bowl, using electric mixer. Beat until soft peaks. Add remaining 3/4 cup sugar a little at a time, beating. Beat until stiff and glossy peaks.
- Very gently fold one third of egg whites into cooled pumpkin mixture. Fold in remaining whites very gently but thoroughly. Divide mixture among ramekins, mounding if needed.
- Bake soufflé until puffed and golden brown. About 18-20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately with sauce.
Notes
- Prep Ahead: Sauce can be made a day ahead. Pumpkin mixture, without egg whites, can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Soufflés can be assembled 1 hour before baking and kept in freezer (note that this can affect bake time.)
- A little of the Molasses Bourbon sauce goes a long way, but if you'd like more sauce, double the amount. It's great for pancakes, waffles, on ice cream, etc.
