Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Carrots
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
Peel and slice the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large pot of boiling water and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the carrots thoroughly.
Transfer the cooked carrots to a blender or food processor. Add the butter and blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour, and baking powder. Stir to mix evenly.
Add the pureed carrots, vanilla extract, milk, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the soufflé is set in the center and the edges are lightly browned.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and savory carrot soufflé as a side dish or dessert option!
