Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 cups squash puree
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 2 pinches of salt
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Prepare Squash Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and butter, beating them until the mixture forms stiff peaks when the beaters are lifted. Stir in the squash puree until well incorporated, then set aside.

3. Prepare Flour Mixture: In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Stir this mixture into the squash mixture until evenly distributed.

4. Add Milk and Maple Syrup: Stir in the evaporated milk and maple syrup into the squash mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are well combined.

5. Beat Egg Whites: In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until stiff peaks form.

6. Fold in Egg Whites: Gently but thoroughly fold the beaten egg whites into the squash mixture, ensuring that they are fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.

7. Prepare Soufflé Dish: Butter and sugar a 2-quart soufflé dish generously to prevent sticking. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

8. Bake Soufflé: Place the soufflé dish in a larger baking pan and pour enough boiling water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the soufflé dish. This water bath helps create a moist environment for the soufflé to rise properly. Bake the soufflé in the preheated oven for 55 minutes or until it is puffed up and firm to the touch.

9. Final Touch: Once the soufflé is baked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. Allow the soufflé to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
