Carrot Souffle

This velvety, creamy souffle perfectly complements a holiday meal, providing a grand presentation.

CARROT CASSEROLE

Like sweet potato casseroles are to Thanksgiving, this carrot casserole is an essential Easter side dish that will surely delight all your guests!  It is rich, fluffy, and literally melts in your mouth.  Oh, so yummy!

This recipe came to me from a good friend who has shared many of her recipes through the years.  

I cherish recipes I have received from friends over the years.  

They bring back so many memories to me when I make them.

At first, when I saw that the recipe had Souffle in the name, I was a little intimidated. 

Because this dish contains no beaten egg whites, it is not a true souffle.

The name Carrot Souffle only describes its light, airy texture. 

To achieve that light, delicate texture, I use a food processor and whip all the ingredients intensely until very fluffy.

Similar in color and flavor to sweet potatoes, it paired well with the Pork Roast we had for Easter.

TIPS AND TIDBITS ON HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CARROT SOUFFLE

Carrots. To get the pure flavor of the carrots in this dish, fresh whole carrots are preferred, not baby carrots. Cook the carrots until they fall apart when pierced with a fork. This will ensure a smooth texture.

Air Incorporated.  The air is what gives this recipe the fluffy souffle texture.  That is why beating the ingredients with a food processor or a strong blender is desired.

Baking.  Butter the sides of the baking dish so the souffle can rise easily.  Try not open the oven door while baking.

Baking Powder.  Check your baking powder expiration so the souffle rises tall.  

Servinging.  The carrot souffle is best served as soon as it comes out of the oven.  The souffle will fall slightly as it cools.
