                                   Pumpkin Souffle



Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1 (21 ounce) can pumpkin 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg 
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup milk 

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 380 °F. 
Beat the three egg whites in medium bowl until stiff. 
 In a separate bowl blend the pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, egg yolk and milk. 
Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture and continue to fold the rest of the egg whites 1/3 at a time until the egg whites are completely folded in. 
Pour the folded mixture into ramekins, leaving about .5-1in of space from the top to provide room for rising. 
Bake for 30-45 minutes and do NOT open the oven to check on them...this will cause them to fall from escaped moisture.  

**This item is best distributed individually into small ramekins...I currently do not own even ONE ramekin...so I am embarrassed to admit that I used the "perfect brownie" pan...to my surprise this worked out quite well.  You can also try using coffee cups.  I also baked this item for 38 minutes at 380 degrees and it turned out perfect**



-This has a nice pumpkin spice flavor.  I recommend adding a little ice cream or whipped cream to cut the edge.  This a tasty light and fluffy pumpkin dessert great for people with gluten and/or dairy (no ice cream on top ;) ) allergies.
