Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) Organic Pumpkin puree
  • 4 extra large eggs separated + 2 egg whites
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons fine ground organic cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Confectioners' sugar for the top (optional)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8 casserole; or glass baking dish.
  • Beat the egg whites and salt until soft picks form. Slowly add sugar and continue beating until stiff and shiny.
  • In a mixing bowl combine egg yolks, pumpkin, sour cream, orange zest, cinnamon, turmeric and nutmeg; stir well until the mixture is homogeneous.
  • Mix together the cornmeal and flour and incorporate into the pumpkin mixture.
  • Gradually fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour the batter into the baking dish, smooth the top and place on the middle rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes depending on how hot is your oven. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, dust the top with confectioners' sugar.
  • Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. I like to drizzle some berry compote over the top of my piece of the pudding.
