The best way to make this soufflé is by baking it in individual ramekins to ensure that you stay within the 8-serving portion size. In truth, this is such a sweet and rich dish you can probably split each serving in half. If you’re like me, though—crazy about sweet potatoes—that will probably be impossible. I don’t blame you!
