Ingredients

• 3 medium, peeled and diced sweet potatoes
• 2 large, peeled and sliced carrots
• 0.5 cup, chopped dried apricots
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.5 cup, freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons, melted unsalted butter
• 4 large, separated eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 2-quart souffle dish or casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced sweet potatoes and sliced carrots. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until both are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes and carrots to a large mixing bowl and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly before proceeding.

Step 4

Stir in the dried apricots, raisins, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Add the yolks to the sweet potato mixture along with the flour. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 6

In a separate clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the sweet potato mixture in three batches, using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle dish, smoothing the top gently with the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the souffle has risen and the top is golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door during the baking process, as the souffle may collapse.

Step 9

Once baked, serve the Tzimmes Souffle immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy!
