This carrot soufflé recipe is where elegance meets everyday goodness!
Looking for a pudding that’s as angelic as it is indulgent? This simple carrot soufflé recipe is a velvety, cinnamon-kissed creation that proves healthy(ish) desserts can still feel luxuriously decadent. This light-as-air bake transforms humble carrots into a stunning dessert worthy of any dinner table. And for these fab flavours, there’s no need for a table at a fancy French bistro, they’re practical to make at home!
You start this healthy carrot souffle by gently cooking carrots until they’re soft and tender, blend with butter, sugar, and a whisper of salt to create a smooth, fragrant purée. Eggs are whisked in for richness and lift, joined by a little plain flour, baking powder, and a dusting of warm ground cinnamon. The magic is in the bake - a hot oven encourages the mixture to puff up, creating that beautiful airy texture while cooking the top to the colour of a spectacular sunset.
You can serve our healthy carrot soufflé warm, straight from the oven, with a dusting of icing sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. For extra indulgence, a fabulous French vanilla ice cream works, or you can drizzle over a little caramel sauce. Feeling fancy? Scatter toasted pecans on top for crunch, or blend in a splash of orange juice into the carrot soufflé recipe for extra zing.
