Weight Watcher POINTS® Value: 2 Servings: 10 Preparation Time: 15 min Cooking Time: 50 min Level of Difficulty: Difficult

The use of Neufchatel cheese makes this soufflé taste like a warm pumpkin cheesecake, but with much less fat and fewer calories.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 15 oz canned pumpkin, puree
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
• 4 oz Neufchatel cheese, softened
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 3 large egg(s), separated
• 1 large egg white(s)
• 1/3 cup sugar

Instructions

• Heat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish with cooking spray, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Over medium heat, cook pumpkin until no longer steaming, about 8 minutes. Mix together cornstarch and evaporated milk, whisk into pumpkin. Bring to boil; remove from heat and cool.
  
  
• Beat Neufchatel with pumpkin pie spice and ginger; beat in yolks to combine. Beat in cooled pumpkin mixture.
  
  
• Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/3 cup sugar one tablespoon at a time until stiff. In three additions, fold whites into pumpkin mixture. Pour into prepared dish. Bake until puffed and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
