This is a wonderful pudding-like soufflé for a winter night. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are a natural pairing with pumpkin and the warm spices adding depth to every bite of soufflé. Prepare in an attractive oven-safe dish, as you will be serving it directly from the baking dish. It should have tall sides as well so that the edges are cake-like, while the center remains a loose, warm pudding consistency. An 8 X 8-inch dish or standard loaf pan both work well. Serve warm for the most oohs and aahs.
