Sweet Potato Souffle (Or maybe pudding)

[titaniumjunky]

For kat!

I make this every year, it’s based on a Bobby Flay recipe (hate him :) ) it’s called a soufflé though I think it’s more like a pudding. Either way its sweet potato crack.

 

 

Sweet Potato Souffle

Serves 8 to 12

Prep time 30 min

Cook time 30 min

 

Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes cooked and whipped

1 cup sugar (I’ve used brown sugar, raw sugar, or splenda it all depends on what you have and who you’re making it for)

2 eggs beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 stick butter

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

I like to add a tablespoon or so of whatever honey I happen to have in the house, usually buckwheat, I like the deep flavor.

Also it’s not a fall dish without a few fall spices, how the original recipe could have excluded cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg are beyond me. Add them to suit your taste (if at all)

(Note: the original recipe calls for Marshmallows and Pecans. I cannot stand marshmallows and think this dish is sweet enough without them. I <3 Pecans so I add them on top if no one has any nut problems, besides, they look pretty!)

 

Directions

Peel and cook potatoes until tender. Drain potatoes and whip. Add sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk, and vanilla, (also add honey and spices if using). Mix well and put in a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 25 minutes. Place marshmallows and pecans (if using) on top and return to oven for about 5 minutes or until brown on top.

I've noticed it wont rise like you would immagine a soufflee would (at all)  it's more liek a pudding. But you wont care after you try it  ;)

 

Serve it warm but it’s also good cold the next few days after.

 

Yum!
