SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOW & PECAN-STREUSEL RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow & Pecan-Streusel Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

TOPPING:
4 whole medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole milk, I used 2% and it worked out fine
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, optional
1 jar marshmallow fluff, or creme
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
3/4 cups flour
3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375°F oven until fork tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, 1 cup milk, you can use half and half for a richer texture, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the pumpkin spice, if using. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough, you don't want to be perfectly smooth. Otherwise, I think the texture is too much like baby food. Your choice. Note: I used a hand mixer, on low speed, in spurts so as not to puree the sweet potatoes too much. Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped, that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them, 3/4 cup flour, and 3/4 stick of melted butter. With a fork, mix until thoroughly combined. Note: You can easily make this a day or two ahead Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top. I used individual ramekins. If adding the marshmallow creme, add it before the topping. You could use miniature marshmallows, but I really liked the creaminess of the marshmallow creme. You could leave the marshmallow out, altogether, and this is still a delicious recipe. Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

2.25 tablespoons Brown Sugar
.25 cup Flour

2.5 cups Mini Marshmellows

  • Add 2 tbsp. butter, .25 cups milk, .5 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tbsp. brown sugar and .125 tsp. salt to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Use a hand mixer, if desired, to make them extra smooth. Taste the potatoes and add additional seasonings, if desired.
  • Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared casserole dish. Place in the oven until heated through (if they're warm it will only take a few minutes).

Top with the other half of the marshmallows and sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top. Place back into the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and brown (keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don't burn). You can also place it under the broiler very briefly to add a little more color to the marshmallows.
