SWEET POTATO SOUFFLé



Sweet Potato Soufflé image

This soufflé is not too sweet to serve as a starter at your Thanksgiving table, but it also makes an impressive dessert and it's easier than pie to make. You can make individual soufflés or one large one.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup mild honey, such as clover
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
8 egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the potatoes on top. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Adjust the rack to the lower third of the oven and turn the oven down to 400ºF. Rub the inside of a 2-quart soufflé dish or six 1- or 1 1/2-cup soufflé dishes with butter and dust with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, tilting the dish to coat evenly.
  • Peel the potatoes and puree in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ginger, yogurt, and lime juice and mix together well.
  • Begin beating the egg whites at medium speed in a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with an electric beater. When they begin to foam, add the cream of tartar. When soft peaks begin to form, slowly add the remaining tablespoon of sugar while beating and continue to beat until the egg whites form stiff but not dry peaks. Stir one fourth into the sweet potatoes, and gently fold in the remainder. Scrape into the soufflé dish (or dishes). Place on a baking sheet and bake a large soufflé for 20 to 25 minutes, small soufflés for 15 minutes, or until puffed and just beginning to brown. Serve at once. The soufflé should be runny on the inside.

SWEET POTATO SOUFFLES



Sweet Potato Souffles image

It's a universal fact that people love puffy food, souffles being one of most versatile. As long as you don't knock all the air out of the egg whites in the batter, not much can actually go wrong. Since mashed sweet potato is the base, these souffles are even easier than the traditional method that requires a saucy base. They'll deflate quickly after exiting the oven, so hurry and snap those photos! Serve with cayenne-seasoned maple syrup if you like.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons butter, at room temperature
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 fried sage leaves

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Prick sweet potatoes with the tip of a knife. Microwave until very soft, about 10 minutes. Let cool briefly until safe to handle.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Halve sweet potatoes and scoop flesh out into a bowl.
  • Separate egg whites and yolks into individual mixing bowls. Generously butter four 5-ounce ramekins.
  • Transfer 1 cup mashed sweet potato to the bowl of egg yolks. Pour in milk. Season with salt and cayenne. Whisk until smooth, slowly at first and faster once mixture starts to come together.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Beat with a clean whisk until peaks are well-defined but still soft. Transfer 1/2 of the egg whites to the sweet potato mixture. Fold in with a spatula somewhat gently until most of the white streaks disappear. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in very gently, turning the bowl and scraping the sides, until whites are mostly blended in; a few streaks should still be visible.
  • Gently spoon sweet potato mixture into the ramekins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fully inflated and browned, about 15 minutes. Garnish with sage. Unmold or serve in ramekins.

Tips:

  • For a creamier soufflé, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • To prevent the soufflé from rising too quickly and falling, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start making the soufflé.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the soufflé tough.
  • Bake the soufflé immediately after assembling it. The longer the soufflé sits, the more likely it is to fall.
  • Serve the soufflé immediately. It will start to fall after a few minutes.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato soufflé is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for special occasions. With its creamy texture and sweet potato flavor, this soufflé is sure to impress your guests. Follow these tips to make the perfect sweet potato soufflé: use high-quality ingredients, cook the sweet potatoes until they are very soft, and don't overbeat the egg whites.
