Forgive me for being behind but I just have to share this Carrot Souffle recipe I made for Thanksgiving dinner. It looks and has a similar texture to mashed sweet potatoes but instead of the traditional potatoes it’s pureed sweet carrots with a caramelized sugar topping!
Scroll down for the recipe and a recap of our Thanksgiving day!
And since y’all have been so patient with me how about another giveaway?!
Carrot Souffles
Ingredients:
- 6 Medium Size Carrots, peeled and cut 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- Sugar (white, brown, or turbinado) for topping
- cooking spray
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease 4 ramekins and set aside.
- In medium pot (or use a counter top steamer), boil water and cook carrots in water until fork tender. Drain and set aside.
- Combine remaining ingredients in food processor and pulse until well
combined. Add in cooked carrots and continue to pulse until smooth. - Divide carrot mixture into prepared ramekins and bake for 40-45
minutes, or until done. - Remove from oven and turn on broiler.

- Serve and enjoy!
I am THANKFUL for my Family!
We are lucky enough to rent a condo in Destin every Thanksgiving and spend the week with my Aunt and Uncle visiting from south Florida and my parents. Last year Ava was teeny tiny so this year was her first “real” Thanksgiving! My parents and Uncle Mike love to cook (Have you seen my Iron Chef battle video with my Uncle Mike?) and this year we had quite the spread even though we had a smaller group (Ashton is deployed overseas and my sweet Grandma passed on in July). My Dad made a Turducken for the first time, Mike made Ham, Crab Bisque, and Green Bean Casserole, Mom made Stuffing and Cranberries, and I made Carrot Souffles and Pumpkin Dip. For dessert my Uncle Mike, always the overachiever (haha) made a Key Lime Cheescake with key limes picked off his own tree! Ava liked the ham, cranberries, and Pumpkin Dip the most but she did try my Carrots too. What a blessing it was to spend some time with our family in beautiful Destin! I love my hometown! I just wish my Ashton could have been there!

Glass etching is so cool. I would love mine to have our last name. This way it never would be taken from a potluck dinner… Lol
I love the Pinterest design! Also love the military themes. Our military is so under-appreciated.
I would love to have one with my blog name on it!
What a great giveaway! Since I bake all the time, this would be a gem to win! As Anonymous wrote on Dec 6th, I would also put our last name on mine so I would never lose it.
BTW, your daughter is so adorable and I loved her Thanksgiving shirt and photos!
I would love the Air Force FAMILY – 2 Qt Baking Dish with EOD Crab in the middle. 🙂
The EOD casserole dish would be so cute to have to memorialize this time in our life. It would be cool if it had my last name on there as well!
I love the "I can't believe you ate the whole thing dish", the "I saw this on Pinterest" and the monogrammed ones. In other words, I pretty much loved them all and would have a hard time choosing if I won!
I like the design of the one in your pic that has the name Givens on it (I don't see it on the Etsy site,though). It's very similar in style to the memorial stickers they made after my friend Todd was killed. His mother is always baking something and I would love to get her a casserole dish with the Big Todd Forever logo.
I think I'd like one with our family name on it.
What a great giveaway! 🙂 All of them are great.
