Ingredients
Scale
Soufflé
- 2.5 lbs sweet potatoes
- 1–2 T olive or coconut oil
- 4 T vegan buttery spread, such as Earth Balance
- 1.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
- couple generous pinches sea salt, divided
Pecan Pie Streusel
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 4 T maple syrup
- 4 T vegan buttery spread, such as Earth Balance, softened
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and toss with olive or coconut oil to coat, plus a hefty pinch of sea salt. Arrange, cut-side-down, on a rimmed baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment and bake 35 mins or until an inserted fork meets no resistance. Set aside to cool slightly. Lower oven temp to 350F.
- While potatoes are baking, heat 6 T Earth Balance in a small saucepan over medium flame. Add thyme, ginger, and orange zest and cook until frothy and light brown, about 5 mins. Set aside while you make streusel topping.
- In a spice grinder or small food processor, pulse oats into a course flour. Empty into a medium bowl and combine with remaining streusel ingredients. Mixture will be somewhat wet.
- When baked potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins (I like to throw them back into the oven and crisp them up into a snack, but maybe that’s just me?) and add potatoes to a large bowl. Mash potatoes until mostly smooth, then add thyme “butter,” coconut sugar, coconut milk and salt and mix thoroughly.
- Spoon mixture into lightly greased ramekins and evenly distribute streusel over the top. Transfer ramekins to a rimmed baking sheet to catch any bubble-ups and bake in 350F oven until topping is deeply browned, 35-40 mins. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Note: As written, this recipe will serve 6-8 folks, depending on the size of your ramekins — but it’s easily doubled for holiday gatherings. Not feeling “mini”? The soufflé bakes up just as beautifully in a 2-quart casserole. Enjoy!
