How to Make Sweet Potato Souffles For Two

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease two 2-cup souffle dishes or custard cups. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar into each.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Place the sweet potato in a saucepan and cover with water.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until tender (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Drain well and mash.
  7. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and nutmeg. You should have about 1 cup of mashed sweet potato.
  8. Set aside to cool.
  9. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  10. Whisk in flour and 3 teaspoons sugar until smooth.
  11. Gradually whisk in milk until thickened and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
  12. Remove from heat.
  13. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks slightly.
  14. Stir the egg yolks into the sweet potato mixture. Then stir in the milk/butter mixture.
  15. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  16. Gently fold the egg whites into the sweet potato mixture.
  17. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared souffle dishes.
  18. Top each souffle with mini marshmallows.
  19. Bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
