You’ve mastered the classic sweet potato casserole, now try your hand at another spud-tastic dessert: sweet potato soufflé. It’s just sweet enough to highlight the natural flavor of the potatoes, and it’s light, airy texture ensures you’ll have plenty of room for a second serving of Thanksgiving turkey later on.
Sweet Potato Soufflé
Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter a 2-quart soufflé dish, or an oven-proof dish with high, straight sides. Add in 2 tablespoons of sugar and turn the dish to coat the sides. Shake out any excess sugar and use a paper towel to remove any butter and sugar from the top ½” of the dish.
2. In a food processor, blend potatoes, brown sugar, honey, spices, milk and egg yolks until very smooth.
3. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until they reach soft peaks. Add the potato mixture to the egg whites and fold together until the mixture is uniform and well-combined. Pour into prepared souffle dish.
4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until soufflé is mostly set when you jiggle it. Serve immediately.
Good to Know: The soufflé will start to fall as it cools, so it should be brought to the table immediately after it comes out of the oven. That said, it will still taste delicious and retain some of its lightness even after it has cooled to room temperature.
#45220 Really think I need to make this. Just wonder if the can be for a gluten free family…

Looks so good
Have been searching for this recipe. Wonderful
Going to try this sounds easy
Can’t wait to try it!!
I will try it, however, since I’m a Vegan I will have to make some substitutions. Yet it does sound yummy!
45212 AilisAghnara58 What substitutes will you use? My daughter is vegan but I don’t know what to use in place of the eggs. I’ve used applesauce in the past, or an egg substitute powder, but what about the egg whites? Thanks for your help.
Hi AilisAghnara58,
You have a few options to replace the eggs in a recipe. You can use applesauce as you have in the past, ground flax seed also works (1 part ground flax seed to 3 ports water,
the liquid from garbanzo beans or commercial egg replacer. Here is a link to one I like quite a bit made by Bob’s Red Mill.
Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer (https://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-vegan-egg-replacer.html) – follow the directions on the package.
Egg whites are not vegan and will not work as a vegan substitute.
Happy Baking!
