Sweet potato souffle11/4/2022 HUGE hit at Christmas dinner with everyone. Substituted 1/2 cup brown sugar for all the white, but otherwise made as written. making my newphew joshua his favorite sweep potato dish! who cares if it is a souffle or not. I'm not a fan of too-sweet sweet potatoes, so I reduced the sugar to only 1/2 cup and left off the marshmallows. This was delicious, but I did make a couple of changes. And the cooking time was twice - 1 hour - instead of 30 minutes (which could have been because of my following a reviewer's note substituting maple syrup for some of the sugar). I thought the addition of lemon was a bit weird. This recipe seems to be a twist on a custard-type rather than a souffle because the eggs are mixed in rather than whipped separately and folded in. I substituted pumpkin for the sweet potato, since they are pretty interchangeable. 1.5c of sugar, add 2 tsp of finely ground crystallized ginger, omitted the coconut and added the whipped egg white! Yummy and we feel like we are home for a day! I always bake both sweet potatoes and jewel yams the night before and let them rest vs. I make this every year for traditions sake and to get some southern comfort in our PacNW Fall, but this year I tweaked it. Way to go Selma Wilkes! I am putting your cookbook into my Amazon wish list. I am already making them again for a Christmas party and they may find their way into my Easter and Valentines menu as well. I didn't bother with the marsh mellow topping for the original serving, but used them for leftovers served to a late arriving cousin and it was great either way. I used raw sugar instead of regular and boiled the sweet potatoes in coconut milk for extra flavor. I did this almost exactly as the recipe was written and everyone loved it. It had the best consistency! My sons have informed me that this better be at every Thanksgiving dinner from now on! Sweet, simple, and delicious!! Used cream with vanilla instead of evaporated milk because I had none. Both were devoured.Īmazing! Did not put in all the "extra" stuff, like pecans and coconut and raisons. Made one batch with marshmallows on top and one without. And I used 2 whipped egg whites that I folded in rather than 2 whole eggs. As other reviewers suggested, I used 3/4c brown sugar rather than 1 1/2c refined sugar.
