BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUFFLE OR KUGEL
This is a delicious healthy side dish. Pretty enough for company, but kids enjoy the sweet taste! Fresh squash is easy to cook in the microwave, but frozen tastes just as good. For the milk, I used nonfat, my neighbor uses Mocha Mix to make it non-dairy. From my neighbor, Tiffanie, who is the best kosher cook ever!!

Steps:
- Tear off 2 (3-inch-wide) strips of foil and wrap each tightly around outside of a ramekin, forming a collar that extends at least 1 inch above rim. Tape overlapping ends together.
- Make praline:
- Line a baking sheet with a sheet of foil, then lightly oil foil. Cook sugar with a pinch of salt in a dry 8- to 9-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, without stirring, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Immediately remove from heat and stir in nuts with a wooden spoon, then quickly pour onto baking sheet, spreading with back of spoon before praline hardens.
- Cool praline on baking sheet 5 minutes, then break into large pieces. Put pieces in a sealable plastic bag, then seal bag, pressing out excess air. Break praline into smaller pieces by lightly pounding and rolling with a rolling pin. Measure out 1/3 cup (serve remainder on the side).
- Make meringue and assemble dessert:
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then wash down crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil syrup, without stirring, until thermometer registers 238 to 242°F (soft-ball stage), 3 to 5 minutes.
- While syrup boils, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt in a bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until foamy. Increase speed to high, then add hot syrup in a slow stream (avoid beaters and side of bowl), beating constantly, and continue to beat until meringue holds stiff glossy peaks and is cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Fold praline into meringue.
- Whisk cream with Cognac in another bowl until it holds soft peaks, then fold into meringue gently but thoroughly. Spoon mixture into ramekins and freeze, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Remove foil collars before serving.

Tips:
- For a Smoother Soufflé: Before pouring the butternut squash mixture into the baking dish, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any small lumps.
- Don't Overmix: When combining the butternut squash mixture with the egg whites, fold them together gently until just combined. Overmixing can deflate the egg whites and result in a less airy soufflé.
- Bake Immediately: Soufflés are best when served immediately, so time your cooking accordingly. If you need to make the soufflé ahead of time, you can refrigerate it for up to 30 minutes before baking.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your soufflé. Use fresh butternut squash, eggs, and cream for the best results.
Conclusion:
This praline-topped butternut squash soufflé is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to impress your guests. With a few simple tips, you can make this soufflé at home and enjoy a truly memorable meal.
