Sweet Potato Soufflé
The fall and winter holidays are my favorite; I love being able to spend time with family and eat all the amazing food. I was never a sweet potato soufflé eater; like you couldn’t pay me to eat it. But then I made myself one and fell in love. The first time I ever made one for someone other than myself was the second year that I spent Thanksgiving with my now husband’s family, and I was so scared that they wouldn’t like it. Thankfully, it was a huge hit and now I am the sweet potato soufflé maker every year; talk about an ego boost.
I hope y’all enjoy it as much as they do!!
4 cups Sweet Potato, cubed
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp Salt
7 tbsp Butter, softened
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/3 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Chopped Pecans
Marshmallows
Preheat oven to 325ºF
Put sweet potatoes in medium saucepan with water to cover
Cook them on medium high heat until tender
Drain and mash
Mix together the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, salt, 4 tbsp butter, milk and vanilla extract
Mix until smooth, then put it into what you will bake it in
- My family likes their sweet potato casserole more on the sweeter side, so I mix in 1/4 cup cinnamon and 1/4 cup brown sugar to this
Mix the brown sugar, flour and 3 tbsp butter until the mixture is coarse
Stir in the pecans
Sprinkle this mixture over the sweet potato mixture
Cover the top in marshmallows and sprinkle some pecans on top of that
Bake for 30 minutes
