This carrot soufflé features pureed carrots mixed with eggs, sugar, and spices, baked until fluffy and topped with a caramelized brown sugar glaze. It serves 6-8 people and takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and mashed carrots
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar for glaze
- 1/4 cup heavy cream for glaze
Instructions
- Prepare Carrots: Cook the carrots until tender, then mash or puree them until smooth.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed carrots, granulated sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Bake Soufflé: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until set and lightly golden on top.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Glaze Soufflé: Once the soufflé is baked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the brown sugar glaze over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. This soufflé pairs wonderfully with turkey and other Thanksgiving dishes.
