Cold Pumpkin Souffle

Ingredients

2 envelopes gelatin
60 ml water
4 eggs
130 gr sugar
60 gr rum
1 gr cinnamon
1 gr ginger
1 gr mace
240 ml whipping cream

Instructions

Candied kumquats (optional) Sprinkle gelatin over water to soften. Heat over low heat to dissolve gelatin. Beat eggs thoroughly in bowl. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until mixture is smooth and very thick. Stir in pumpkin, rum, cinnamon, ginger, mace and cloves. Blend in gelatin well and fold in whipped cream. Oil 15 cm band of foil and place around outside edges of oiled 1.5-quart souffle dish, oiled side in, to form standing collar. (Or use an oiled 2 litre fluted ring mold and do not add collar.) Fill dish with pumpkin mixture and chill until set. Carefully remove foil collar and decorate top of souffle with candied kumquats. Or dip fluted mold in hot water very quickly and turn out onto serving platter. Serve with additional whipped cream, if desired.
