Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cups pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 minutes or until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off their skins and place the flesh in a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the sweet potato flesh.
Mash the mixture using a potato masher or fork until smooth and well combined. Alternatively, use a hand mixer on low speed for a creamier texture.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the sweet potato mixture with mini marshmallows, spreading them evenly across the surface.
If using, sprinkle chopped pecans over the marshmallows for added crunch and flavor.
Bake the dish at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Bourbon Sweet Potato Fluff!
