Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
Step 4
Stir in 4 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and the egg. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix the crispy rice cereal, chopped pecans, honey, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the rice cereal mixture evenly over the sweet potato base. Add mini marshmallows on top, spreading them across the surface.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the marshmallows are lightly toasted.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
