Ingredients
– 3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs, separated
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. 2. In a large pot, cover the cubed sweet potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
3. 3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. 4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the sweet potato mixture.
5. 5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
6. 6. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For a more indulgent souffle, you can top it with a layer of marshmallows or a streusel topping before baking. The souffle can be made a day in advance and reheated before serving.
