Sweet Potato Dumplings Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tubes (cans) refrigerated crescent rolls (I used Pillsbury brand)
8 frozen sweet potato (yam) patties, partially thawed
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
good pinch of salt
1 cup Mountain Dew soda
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional (I used ReaLemon)
5 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon for sprinkling the tops
(NOTE: You can omit the Mountain Dew and increase the amount of water to 2 cups.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. You will need two 11x7 (or equivalent) baking dishes. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the Mountain Dew, water, and lemon juice. Cut the butter in pieces (so it melts quicker) and add to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then boil for 3 to 4 minutes, reducing heat if necessary. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla. Set aside to cool a bit. On a piece of foil on the counter, unroll the crescents and with a sharp knife cut along the triangle perforations. Cut each of the sweet potato patties in half, you will have 16 pieces. Place one patty half on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll up, tucking in the ends. (It's okay if the patties aren't completely covered.) Place 8 of them, with pointy ends of rolls facing down, in each of the baking dishes. Pour half the sauce over each pan of dumplings. Sprinkle tops lightly with cinnamon. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from oven and spoon the thickened sauce over the dumplings. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or room temperature with whipped cream or topping.

These dumplings are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few sweet potatoes in my kitchen, so this recipe is perfect for me.

I'm allergic to sweet potatoes, so I substituted mashed butternut squash in this recipe. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dumplings turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These dumplings were a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

I had a hard time getting the dumplings to hold together. They kept falling apart.

These dumplings were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I made these dumplings for a potluck and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them, even the people who don't usually like sweet potatoes.

These dumplings were a hit with my family! The sweet potato filling was perfectly sweet and savory, and the dumplings themselves were light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
