Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the water and mash the sweet potatoes in the pot until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with melted butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
To prepare the pecan sugar streusel, chop the pecans and combine them with the flour, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the cold cubed butter to the pecan mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
Sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Bake the casserole for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the marshmallows over the top, and return it to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
