Carrot Soufflé Recipe

I used to think that anything called a Souffle was going to be crazy hard to make and I would talk myself out of making them.

I was going through an old church cookbook and saw a recipe for Carrot Souffle that looks not only manageable but pretty darn easy. I figure it was time to get past my fear of the word Souffle and see what happened.

This carrot souffle has become a favorite side dish. It tastes more like dessert than a vegetable side dish and I am here for it!

Even my husband who is pretty anti-carrot enjoyed this dish. He is the guy who picks them out of soup and casseroles and wrinkles his nose but he liked this souffle.

We have been told this is similar to Piccadilly Cafeterias Carrot Souffle. We haven't been to the restaurant yet but can't wait to try theirs the next time we are in the south.

Ingredients

  • Carrots
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Sugar
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Eggs

Garnish - sprinkle with Powdered Sugar

Optional topping ideas - Pumpkin Pie Spice, chopped pecans, mini marshmallows, brown sugar, crystalized ginger, brown sugar streusel, ground cinnamon

Carrots - baby carrots or regular carrots work great. If you don't have fresh carrots you can use frozen or canned carrots. Make sure to drain any excess moisture from them before you puree them.

Equipment Needed

Blender - We are big fans of the Ninja Blender

Baking Dish/Casserole Dish

Large Pot

Non stick cooking spray

Recipe Tips

Set butter out so it reaches room temperature before mixing it into the carrots. This will help get the ingredients smooth.

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. This recipe does not freeze well.

This recipe is not vegan due to the eggs needed to make the souffle work.
