Notes

  • Read Through the Recipe: Reviewing the full recipe and ingredient notes before starting helps everything come together more smoothly.
  • Use Soft Carrots: Whether using fresh or thawed frozen carrots, make sure they’re cooked until very soft for the smoothest texture.
  • Adjust the Sweetness: This soufflé is lightly sweetened. For a dessert version, increase the sugar to 4 tablespoons.
