Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup natural sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: Combine the pureed pumpkin with the natural sweetener, vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Stir well until fully blended and fragrant.
  2. Heat the Plant-Based Milk with Gelling Agent: Warm the plant-based milk gently over medium heat in a saucepan. Slowly whisk in the natural gelling agent until completely dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly to create the light structure needed for the souffle.
  3. Fold Ingredients Together: Carefully fold the thickened milk mixture into the pumpkin blend, gently mixing to retain as much air as possible for a fluffy texture. If using smoked turkey bacon, fold it in now to add a smoky flavor.
  4. Pour Into Ramekins and Bake: Evenly divide the souffle mixture into lightly greased ramekins or baking dishes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are puffed and golden.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the Pumpkin Souffle immediately to enjoy its full airy texture before it settles. Add your favorite garnishes or toppings.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother blending.
  • Be gentle when folding to keep the souffle light and airy.
  • Ensure the oven is properly preheated to avoid deflating.
  • Serve immediately after baking for best texture.
  • Adjust spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste.
