Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pecans
• 0.5 cup flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups marshmallows

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (melted), 0.5 cup of brown sugar, flour, and granulated sugar. Stir in the pecans until evenly coated and crumbly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the sweet potatoes in an even layer.

Step 7

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and gooey.

Step 9

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delightful, caramelized sweet potato casserole!
