Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
⅓ cup butter melted

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
