Carrot Souffle

December 23, 2010

Kat Driscoll totally blew me away with her recipe for carrot souffle. Whether you make one for the crowd or individual ramekins for everyone, they're light, sweet, bright in color and something that the youngest to the oldest in your family will enjoy.

Hopefully Kat will be emailing me tons of recipes she's come up with using her new Zojurushi Rice Cooker!

    If I were using just regular carrots, what measurement should I use? I don’t have a scale, so if I sliced regular carrots– a few cups?

    This was delicious!

    Will it last in the fridge? I made it for my husband and I, but there are a bunch of leftovers. Not sure if it will hold up as a leftover?

    I thought this sounded really good but wanted to reduce the butter as I am still trying to lose the baby weight. I used 2 Tbsp butter instead of 8 and then added 3/4 cup of pumpkin. This tasted just like pumpkin pie! So good! My husband even loved it – and he is extremely picky. My 14 month loved it, but I knew he would as he loves carrots, pumpkin, etc. Thanks for the recipe!

    This was RIDICULOUSLY good. I used salted butter and I think the extra saltiness was a nice touch. Will try with squash as suggested by other commenters.

    I love the sound of this recipe. I dont mean to sound stupid, but what does a water bath mean? Do I put water on top of the ingredients. Again, sorry I am just not clear on this.

      A water bath is when you put the ramekins in a bigger size baking dish filled with water half way up the outside of the ramekin. The water is in the bigger baking dish. This allows the souffle to cook evenly and not allow any burning or overcooking.

    I bet you could just reduce the amount of sugar in general.. I can’t wait to try this! Any idea of a way to cut back on the fat from the butter though, that wouldn’t compromise the flavor/texture too much?

    Can you substitute honey for sugar and what would the measurement be? 1/4 cup of sugar is more than I want to give my toddler. Do you think using butternut squash would lessen the need for a sweetner?

      This recipe makes 6 servings so your toddler will only get 1/24 of a cup of sugar, not 1/4 of a cup. I’m definitely going to try this because my toddler is pretty picky with veggies too!

      If you want to use squash and are worried about the sugar, you might want to check out the “Butternut Squash Kugel” recipe that someone posted in the comments section when this contest was originally posted. It’s similar to this recipe, but uses whole wheat flour and maple syrup instead of sugar (it also doesn’t require a water bath, so I don’t know if it’s quite as light in texture or not, but it’s really good).

      This recipe also sounds great and I can’t wait to give it a try!

    Does it have to be a glass 8×8 pan or can you use the metal one as well?

    I do this with butternut squash all the time. I buy the pre-cooked mashed frozen squash, so it saves the step of having to steam it. I dont bake it in a water bath either and it turns out delicious.

    If you use one 8 x8 dish to cook with, do you still need to bake it in a water bath?

      my guess is yes. Anything souffle-like needs to be cooked in a water bath. I even do it with no crust pumpkin pies that are more custardy than the originals.

        Yes, whether you do it in ramekins or an 8 x 8 inch pan you need to do it in a water bath.

    So, this comes out more like a dessert? Or a side dish?
