Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of an 8-inch souffle dish. Place in a roasting pan that fits the dish.
- Add the cream cheese, pumpkin puree and butter to a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, mix together until smooth and well combined. Switch to a whisk and add the egg yolks one at a time, making sure they are fully incorporated before adding the next yolk. Add the cake flour, vanilla and cinnamon and mix well until smooth. Slowly add the milk until fully incorporated. Set aside.
- Beat the egg whites in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly sprinkle in the sugar until glossy and stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the egg white into the cream cheese mixture using the whisk until incorporated. Repeat with another third. Now add the cream cheese mixture into the bowl with the remaining egg white and, using a spatula, gently fold in the remaining egg white until no streaks remain.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and run a skewer through the top to make a design. Fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish and place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees F and continue to bake until the souffle is just set but still a little jiggly in the center, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature in the water bath. Remove from the water and refrigerate to cool completely, at least 2 hours. Use a large spoon to serve the souffle.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a small baking sheet. Spread pumpkin puree evenly over prepared baking sheet. Bake until puree loses most of its moisture, but is not quite dry and has not formed a crust, about 25 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking time. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract to pumpkin mixture. Stir to combine. Cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 3 days).
- In a small saucepan, combine milk and fresh ginger. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve; discard solids.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter six 10-ounce souffle dishes. Dust with granulated sugar, tapping out excess.
- Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Gradually add the steeped milk, whisking constantly, and continue to cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin mixture and the brown sugar to milk mixture; stir to combine. Stir in egg yolks. Transfer to a large bowl, and place bowl in the ice-water bath to cool mixture completely.
- Combine egg whites and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and beat until stiff glossy peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold egg whites into chilled pumpkin mixture in two stages.
- Pour into prepared souffle dishes, mounding mixture slightly over the rim. Smooth surfaces of souffles with your fingertip. Bake until tops are colored and dry to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately with cinnamon anglaise.

- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pour a small amount of remaining 4 egg whites into pumpkin mixture. Mix to combine. Then, carefully fold remaining whites into pumpkin mixture. Spoon mixture into the center of hollowed Jack-Be-Littles, until it reaches the top, about 3 to 5 ounces per pumpkin. Sprinkle each with a 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar. Place in oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. and continue to cook for until the souffles are nicely puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins are the best choices for making pumpkin soufflé. They have a sweet, creamy flavor and a smooth texture.
- Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or in a toaster oven.
- Use fresh spices: Fresh spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger, will give your soufflé the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use ground spices, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make your soufflé tough. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry.
- Bake the soufflé immediately: Soufflés are best when they are served immediately after baking. If you need to make the soufflé ahead of time, you can refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before baking.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin soufflé is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and airy, with a sweet and creamy pumpkin flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect pumpkin soufflé that will impress your guests.
