Description
A delicious Sweet Potato Casserole topped with a crunchy pecan crumble and fluffy marshmallows, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pecans, chopped (for the pecan crumble)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (for the pecan crumble)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for the pecan crumble)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for the pecan crumble)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the pecan crumble)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, softened butter, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and carefully sprinkle the mini marshmallows on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed.
- Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup to the sweet potato mixture.
- You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different crunch.
- For a lighter version, use coconut milk instead of regular milk.
