Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs total) Sweet potatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Grated nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set it aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add them to the sweet potato mixture and mix thoroughly. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gently spread the whipped cream (chantilly) over the sweet potato mixture in an even layer.
Dot the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the top and sprinkle lightly with grated nutmeg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
