Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins with cooking spray or butter, ensuring the sides are well-coated.
Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and microwave it on high for 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Let it cool slightly, then peel and mash it until smooth.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, unsalted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the egg yolks to the sweet potato mixture and stir until smooth and creamy.
In a separate clean and dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the sweet potato mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling them just below the rim.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the souffles are puffed up and lightly golden on top. Do not open the oven door while they are baking to prevent them from collapsing.
Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, fluffy texture with a slight crisp on the edges.
