This year we were blessed with not just one Thanksgiving celebration, but two! A potluck event at a friend's house, for which I was busily cooking on Thanksgiving day, and where Zach joined us after a hectic day's work at the hospital, followed by our Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday with 12 friends attending! And then there are the treats I plan to bring to Zach and his coworkers all along the journey between Thanksgiving and Chanukkah/Christmas as well... Needless to say, I've been in a menu tizzy for nearly a month.
With so many events, I have a glorious opportunity to explore a variety of different holiday desserts, embellishing our manditory dessert menu of pecan and apple pies. This is one dessert that left us particularly enchanted... Even Zach, who normally isn't a fan of pumpkin pie and would be expected to mutter something about pumpkin invading his cheesecake, was enthralled by this dessert. Just the right balance of creamy cheesecake on the palate with the light, fluffy texture of a pumpkin mousse, and the irresistible, nutty spices of fall...
As we continue to celebrate our first Thanksgiving in our new home in Ohio, I wish everyone much joy, the unparalleled joy of sharing a meal, a flavor, a memory with those you love...
Pumpkin Cheesecake Souffles
Individual ramekin dishes
2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced fat cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup raw turbinado sugar
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
~ Coat the ramekin dishes with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
~ In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg whites; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
~ Divide the batter between the ramekin dishes, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes - until the center is set.

It takes special care and love to be able to make a tasty and successful souffle, congrats to you! This sounds amazing.
I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving!
Souffles are a tough one for me but you make it sound so easy!!!
Two thanksgivings are always better than one. Especially with you cooking! These souffles look amazing! With pumpkin and cheesecake, how could you go wrong?
It looks yummy and easy to make.
Great looking souffles. Thanks so much for your last comment on my blog the other day (not the last one, i think just before that). I am so glad to be of help as you take this crazy journey being a military spouse. It's a tough job at times and takes a lot of understanding, but there are benefits and rewards too. I am so hoping one day you get to be stationed in Japan, hopefully while I am here, or that we can wind up at a base together some time, cause that would be fun. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, well, both of them!
COLORADO, you're in trouble now.
And I hate skiing and the coldness with that hard ice...so no loss for me and billions like me.
Kiss " tourism" - goodbye.
CARINE GERY?
That GICAR and NEVADA..ACCOC finished you off and so did GERRIZZO.
TATOON to HUMPECRY gave away AGIZE and that meant so went OVASH- .
SCHAR 169 - VIRGINIA?
He was with ADA- 605.
Well they took off with physicians - 999, and that meant there went NETHERLANDS- DOT- RY....and that also
meant RISA.
COUSSA.
This was your GE and DEFIESSE with CARON-
CAPSHAW- LADD?
Well, your " Queen" doesn't give a fuck about any of you
anymore.
It's the royal " SNESSE".
I want to know what FRANCO is.
Is this FRED in FRADO with CARMEN?
This is with BERRIRO and NICE?
There are all sorts of companies like CONES- CONESSA-
COMSTUL, and it pertains to codes for the mob.
LA is totally surrendering their info in order to save themselves.
And that's fine with us and the scripts of
" KANSAS KINGS"- as long as we get the corrupt
SYN SEA 7.
We want royalty OUT!
We want corruption OUT!
We want PEDOPHILE POLITICIANS and PEDOPHILE
BILLIONAIRES to receive the death penalty or life.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
Or their will be a revolt such as has never been seen on this " BLACK PLANET"....made by your FILTH.
