Cooking spray
1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound, 12 ounces)
2 Tbs butter, softened
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half, non-fat
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp salt
2 large egg yolks
5 large egg whites
Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange on paper towels in microwave oven. Microwave at high 10 minutes or until tender,
rearranging potatoes after 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Peel potatoes. Combine potatoes and butter, and mash with a
potato masher until smooth.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, potato mixture, half-and-half, and next
6 ingredients (through egg yolks) in a food processor; process until smooth. Transfer potato mixture to a large bowl.
Position oven rack to lowest setting, and remove the middle rack. Preheat oven to 425°. Place egg whites in a large
mixing bowl; beat at high speed with a mixer until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1
tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). Coat a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish with cooking spray.
Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Gently fold one-fourth of egg white mixture into potato mixture;
gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Gently spoon mixture into prepared dish. Sharply tap dish 2 or 3 times on the
counter to level. Place dish on a baking sheet; place baking sheet in a 425° oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to
375° (do not remove soufflé from oven). Bake 1 hour or until soufflé is puffy, golden, and set. Serve immediately.
