This is an amazingly easy recipe to follow and very delicious. None of my family was able to guess that it was carrots. I made this for our Christmas Dinner last year and everyone loved it, including the children. They all thought it was sweet potatoes or yams.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 lb peeled carrots
2 1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 c flour
6 medium eggs
1/2 lb margarine
GARNISH FOR TOP
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Steam or boil carrots until extra soft. Drain well.
  • 2. While carrots are warm, add sugar, baking powder and vanilla. Whip with mixer until smooth. (I used a potato masher first and then the mixer. Either way works fine.)
  • 3. Add flour and mix well. Whip eggs and add to flour mixture, blend well. Add softened margarine to mixture and blend well.
  • 4. Pour mixture into 13 by 9 inch baking dish about half full as the souffle will rise.
  • 5. Bake in 350 degree oven about 1 hour or until top is a light golden brown. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar over top before serving.
  • 6. I tried this out in two smaller ramekins and they looked so festive. Plus it cut down on the cooking time about 20 minutes less. I may try serving this way next time.
  • 7. 4-20-2014 --- Had to make this for our Easter Sunday dinner again. It is so delicious and loved by all.
  • 8. Here is the pic of soufflé and the beautiful tulips that were a sweet welcome gift from a dear friend for our first home purchase.
