Description
A creamy and dreamy sweet potato casserole topped with gooey marshmallows, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Start by peeling the sweet potatoes. Cut them into chunks and boil them in a large pot of water. Cook until they’re tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the softened butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mash everything together until smooth.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the mix is smooth, transfer it into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the marshmallows evenly on top of the sweet potato mixture, covering it generously.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly puffy.
Notes
Consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch or swapping out brown sugar for coconut sugar or maple syrup for a healthier version.
