Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil them in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Step 3
Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, granulated sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
Step 4
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the topping by combining the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Cut in the 4 tablespoons of butter (for topping) using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 6
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the soufflé is set.
Step 8
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this sweet and nutty delight!
