Carrot Souffle
Description
This Carrot Souffle begins by boiling peeled and thinly sliced carrots until very tender. The cooked carrots are drained and pureed in a food processor with melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and eggs until smooth. Flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar are then added and pulsed to combine without overmixing.
The mixture is poured into a greased baking dish and baked at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and set. The souffle offers a soft, moist texture with natural sweetness enhanced by cinnamon and vanilla. A light dusting of powdered sugar can be added as garnish for extra sweetness and presentation.
This dish presents a comforting way to enjoy carrots with a custard-like firmness and gentle spices. It's suitable as a side dish or a light dessert, served warm shortly after baking.
