What is the difference in a sweet potato casserole and souffle?

A sweet potato casserole and a sweet potato souffle are both dishes made with sweet potatoes, but there are some key differences between the two.

Sweet potato casserole:

- Typically made with mashed sweet potatoes, milk, eggs, sugar, and spices

- Often topped with a streusel or pecan topping

- Baked in a casserole dish

Sweet potato souffle:

- Made with a combination of mashed sweet potatoes and whipped egg whites

- Lighter and fluffier than a casserole

- Not typically topped with a streusel or pecan topping

In general, a sweet potato casserole is a more traditional dish, while a sweet potato souffle is a more modern take on the classic. Both dishes are delicious and can be enjoyed as a side dish or a dessert.
