How to Make Easy And Light Pumpkin Souffle

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease six ramekins (approximately 6-ounce capacity) and line the sides with strips of wax paper or parchment paper, leaving about 1/2 inch overhang at the top. This will help with easy removal.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, egg yolk, and milk. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Repeat, folding in the remaining egg whites in two additions, until the batter is evenly mixed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
  8. Place ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the soufflés are puffed and lightly golden brown. Do not open the oven door during baking! Use the oven light to check on their progress.
  10. Let the soufflés cool slightly before carefully removing them from the ramekins using the wax paper overhang.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, ice cream, brown sugar, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
