Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sweet potatoes mashed
- 3 large eggs separated
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Butter for greasing ramekins
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Prepare ramekins
- Grease ramekins with butter. Set aside to prevent soufflé from sticking while mixing ingredients.
Mash sweet potatoes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are soft and smooth. Mash them well to remove lumps for a creamy base.
Mix egg yolks and sugar
- In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until smooth and light. Add vanilla, milk, cinnamon and salt.
Combine sweet potatoes and yolks
- Add mashed sweet potatoes to yolk mixture. Stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
Whip egg whites
- In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. This adds lightness to the soufflé.
Fold whites into sweet potatoes
- Gently fold egg whites into sweet potato mixture. Use a spatula to keep mixture airy and fluffy.
Fill ramekins
- Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins or baking dish. Smooth tops gently without deflating.
Bake the soufflé
- Place in preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30–35 minutes until risen and golden on top.
Serve immediately
- Remove from oven and serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy fluffy texture.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs for better whipping.
- Do not overmix egg whites; fold gently to keep air.
- Serve immediately; soufflé deflates if left too long.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Ensure sweet potatoes are smooth for creamy texture.
