Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel and chop the carrots into uniform pieces. Steam or boil the carrots in a pot of water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked carrots to a large mixing bowl or a food processor. Blend or mash until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the carrot puree. Mix until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is creamy.
Stir in the heavy cream, flour, eggs (one at a time), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk or blend until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the souffle is set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the souffle cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, for a decorative finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sweet Carrot Souffle!
