Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at standard supermarkets in Zimbabwe. Look for fresh carrots in the produce section and milk in the dairy aisle. For the parmesan cheese, check the deli or cheese section of major grocery stores—if you cannot find hard, aged parmesan, a high-quality mature cheddar or a local hard grating cheese can work as a substitute, though original parmesan provides the best flavour profile. Butter and vegetable oil are readily available in the baking or cooking oil sections.
Preparation method
- Place the cooked carrots, milk, eggs, and half of the grated cheese into a blender
- Blitz everything together until you achieve a completely smooth, uniform mixture
- Grease a baking dish or pyrex with a little butter or oil and dust it with some grated parmesan if you like extra flavour
- Pour the blended carrot mixture into your prepared baking dish
- Scatter the remaining grated cheese over the top if you have reserved some
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the soufflé is set and golden on top
