Add the carrots into the boiling water and cook until the carrots are very tender and a sharp knife pierces the carrots easily with no resistance. Drain the carrots and let them cool while preparing the batter.

In the jar of a high-speed blender or a food processor, add the eggs, salt, butter, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes:

  1. Brown sugar will create a darker orange-hued carrot souffle. If you’d like your souffle to be a brighter orange, white sugar can be substituted. The resulting souffle will be brighter in color but less complex in flavor.
  2. Be sure to use Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Different kosher salt brands have varied crystal sizes and may affect the salinity of the recipe.
