Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and transfer the flesh to a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter, heavy cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the sweet potato flesh. Mash together using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spread the mashed sweet potatoes into an even layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish or another oven-safe dish.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly on top of the mashed sweet potatoes.
Using a kitchen torch, brûlée the sugar by carefully heating it until it melts and forms a crispy, caramelized crust. If you do not have a torch, you can place the dish under your oven’s broiler for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Let the dish cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy and caramelized goodness of Brûléed Mashed Sweet Potatoes!
