Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams pumpkin purée
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 10 grams softened butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place a baking tray in the center of the oven to preheat.
Grease four ramekins (8-ounce capacity each) with the softened butter, then sprinkle the insides with granulated sugar, coating evenly. Discard any excess sugar. Set the ramekins aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
While the mixture cools, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Stir the egg yolks into the cooled pumpkin mixture one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
In a large clean mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold a third of the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining egg whites, being cautious not to deflate the mixture.
Divide the soufflé mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full. Use a knife or spatula to level the tops, then run your thumb around the inside rim of each ramekin to create a clean edge (this helps the soufflé rise evenly).
Place the ramekins on the preheated baking tray in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and golden brown on top. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
Once baked, remove the soufflés from the oven and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately for the best texture and presentation.
