Sweet Potato Soufflé

Sweet Potato Soufflé

If you’re tired of the same old sweet potato casserole at the holidays (although we have a great recipe if you need one!) give this Sweet Potato Soufflé a try! it’s easy to make dairy free–just use oat or almond milk. You can also easily adjust the sugar to your taste. If you think sweet potato puree is sweet enough on its own, just cut the sugar by half. Using Farmer’s Market Sweet Potato Puree in this recipe really cuts down on prep time, since recipes that call for whole sweet potatoes require you to bake and mash them first, so they can take up to two hours while ours takes less than half that.

If you have a recipe like this Sweet Potato Soufflé that calls for whole sweet potatoes and you want to substitute puree, here’s a handy guide. Cooking and mashing 1 large sweet potato will get you around 1 cup of sweet potato puree. One cup is 8 oz, and a can of Farmer’s Market Sweet Potato Puree is 15 ounces, so about a cup and a half. So if a recipe calls for 5 whole sweet potatoes, you’d want to use about 3 cans of Farmer’s Market sweet potato.
