Scale
Pumpkin Soufflé
- 5 large eggs
- 170g pumpkin puree*, 3/4 cup
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
- coconut oil (or butter), for greasing pan
Caramelized Maple Pecans
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 cup pecans, unsalted, 125g
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp sea salt, + more if sprinkling
Cream Cheese Topping
- 150 ml heavy cream, 5 oz
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 100g cream cheese, or greek yogurt (3 1/2 oz)
Instructions
Caramelized Maple Pecans
- Get a parchment paper and place either on a cookie sheet or just on the counter. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon and sea salt.
- Over medium-low heat add coconut oil to the pan and pour in the sugar mixture. Stir until it has melted and is a smooth consistency. Add the pecans and increase to medium heat, stir until every pecan is coated with the sugar mixture, and almost all the sugar has been soaked into the nuts.
- Pour the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet, not overlapping the nuts and let it cool completely. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired (before cooling).
- You can eat them pretty much just a few minutes after they're done, but they are much better when they are completely cold and the stickiness gone. About 1 hour.
Pumpkin Soufflé
- Heat the oven to 180C (350F) and grease a pie pan of around 22 cm (9 inch).
- Mix all the ingredients into a smooth consistency in a blender and pour everything into the greased pan.
- Pop it in the oven for around 30-35 minutes. You want the top to set and edges start to be golden brown.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm with with caramelized pecans and cream cheese topping, if desired.
Cream Cheese Topping
- Add heavy cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until it forms a smooth and creamy consistency. Do not over whisk as it may make the cream more buttery-like. Taste and adjust sweetness level.
