  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon butter

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Rub the inside of each pumpkin with one tablespoon of brown sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.

Submitted by a kindly grandmother in Utah, this is a sweet, cute souffle served in an actual mini-pumpkin. A must-have recipe for serious Halloween cooks.
