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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
