Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.
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.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
Stir in 4 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and the egg. Mix well to combine.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the crispy rice cereal, chopped pecans, honey, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the rice cereal mixture evenly over the sweet potato base. Add mini marshmallows on top, spreading them across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the marshmallows are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
