Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Submerge chopped carrots in rapidly boiling water and simmer for 15-20 minutes until extremely tender. Thoroughly drain and transform into silky smooth puree using a food processor or blender.
- Heat oven to 350F and generously coat a 1.5-quart baking vessel with butter or cooking spray. Vigorously whisk carrot puree with remaining ingredients until achieving a luxurious, aerated consistency.
- Transfer mixture into prepared baking dish, ensuring even distribution. Slide into preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, monitoring for a golden, dramatically risen profile and firm structural integrity.
- Validate doneness by inserting a slender wooden pick, which should emerge immaculately clean. Allow slight cooling before elegantly dusting with delicate powdered sugar.
- Present immediately as an accompaniment or decadent sweet course, celebrating the souffle’s ethereal texture and warm, comforting essence.
Notes
- Choose tender, sweet carrots for the best flavor and smoothest texture when pureeing.
- Drain carrots thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the souffle too wet and dense.
- Whisk ingredients vigorously to incorporate air, creating a lighter, more delicate souffle that rises beautifully.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the perfect puffy texture and prevent deflation.
