This is The Best Piccadilly’s Copycat Carrot Souffle’ I’ve ever had. It’s so rich and creamy. Sweet but not too sweet and full of carroty goodness! If you’ve never had a Carrot Souffle’ before it’s very similar in taste and consistency to a sweet potato casserole. The whole family loves this Carrot Souffle’ but my kids especially loved it when they were little so making this dish at home was a no brainer. It’s a great way to sneak in some veggies and have a little treat that almost feels like a dessert. This Carrot Souffle’ would be a great holiday dish to make this year! Aside from the carrots most all the other ingredients are pantry staples making this an easy and affordable dish to make anytime.
While I love the simplicity of this Carrot Souffle’, it really makes the carrot take center stage. You could try some add-ons in to take it up a notch. Some ideas would include – raisins, chopped pecans, pineapple tidbits, or a streusel topping.
