This is why I joined food.com! I had a bag of carrots in the fridge for about 3 weeks, and said to myself there has got to be something to make with these!!! And found this recipe and said why not!!!My mother in law was here and in the 3 weeks she has been here I have made it 5 times!!!!! OMG unbelievable, she has been singing my praise ever since. Thank you sooo much for sharing your recipe.

I'm torn about how to rate this recipe!! As a side dish it gets 3 stars from me. It is way too sweet (and I only used one cup of sugar) but as a dessert... 5 stars! It was soooo yummy! I served this to company with a baked ham and scalloped potatoes and I was a bit embarrassed. Everyone enjoyed it, but there were comments that it should have been our dessert. I will try it again with a lot less sugar... or just make it for dessert :)

I reduced the sugar by half and the recipe was devine. I processed until carrots were smooth/pureed and the souffle came out lovely. It doesn't have a strong carrot taste, so this is a good way to serve to picky eaters. I made for Easter dinner and my sister's in-laws raved about it and asked for recipe. Thanks for sharing!
