Delicious Carrot Souffle
"This recipe is delicious! I make it for every holiday and sometimes just for a colorful and delicious side dish during the week, just because we love it! Even those who don't normally like carrots really liked this souffle, and kids love it, too. It's a great alternate to sweet potato casserole; plus, it's super easy to prepare! I strongly suggest not adding any of type of "pumpkin pie" spices, etc. to this dish as it will really alter the outcome. This comes straight from Cooking Light with no alterations - it doesn't need any!"

Can the carrot souffles be baked in a Muffin tin? If so is can the be removed and remain fluffy? Is temperature and time the same?

Delicious, nutritious, fairly low calorie, attractive, great texture. My husband and I were very pleased.<br/><br/>I want to add an update, that you can make this ahead of time and even reheated it is still delicious! The word "souffle" made me concerned it would flop if I made it ahead of time, but not so. -
Just wonderful! I'll make this in the future. ANYONE would like it. Great to add a touch of sweetness to a big meal. I used plain yogurt in place of SC and sprinkled pecans on top before baking. I was unsure about the powdered sugar, but it's delicious! I also added a touch of nutmeg and ginger. Looking forward to eating the leftovers for breakfast. Thank you Hepcat! Definate keeper. -
This was delicious, way better than I would have expected. I only used half the butter and I didn't miss it. Thanks for the great recipe! -
I didn't know whether to serve as a side or a dessert, this was that delicious! We followed the recipe except no powdered sugar, add baked it in ramekins so everbody had their own personal carrot souffle!! (still 40. min bake time) -
I agree super easy to make, colourful and delicious. We all love carrots and this makes for a very nice side dish along with a touch of the unexpected. Other than not dusting the top with icing sugar made as posted and will definitely make again. Thank you for sharing.

After growing up in central Wisconsin, I moved to California and spent my 20's and part of my 30's there. I've since moved to the east coast to a small village in Northern Virginia - a huge change! We moved here mainly so we could live in an area better suited to raising children and closer to family. Although it's an adjustment, we really love it here. My husband and I were married in Feb 2003 and had our first daughter, Kylie, in Aug 2004. Our second daughter, Katie, was just born in July 2006. I was an HR Director until I became Mom, and I wouldn't trade this job for anything in the world!
I began cooking when I became a stay-at-home-mom, mostly out of necessity. We used to eat out for every meal...and I do mean EVERY meal. When our income was cut in half after my "early retirement", eating out was no longer an option. Therefore, if I was going to continue to eat all the delicious food I was accustomed to, I was going to have to...oh, the horror!!!...COOK IT MYSELF!!! I had grown up baking with my mom, but hadn't actually baked in years and had always left the cooking to her. To my utter surprise and delight (not to mention my husband's SHOCK and delight)...I loved it! Then, to find Recipezaar...well, it's become a much loved hobby and something I'll surely do for the rest of my life!
