Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), at room temperature, plus more to grease pan
5 medium sweet potatoes
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
Pinch of salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), softened

Steps:

  • For the souffle: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
  • Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake on a foil-covered baking sheet until they are soft, 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes, place the flesh in a large mixing bowl and mash until very smooth. Add the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, milk and salt. Combine well with an electric mixer or hand mixer. Turn the mixture into the baking dish.
  • For the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar, flour and butter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture over the sweet potatoes, making an even layer. Bake the casserole until slightly browned, 40 minutes. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Time 57m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (24-ounce) bags steam and mash sweet potatoes (recommended: Ore-Ida)
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1 cup evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans
1 pinch salt
2 cups marshmallow topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 12 (6-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray. Divide the ramekins among 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  • Cook sweet potatoes in the microwave according to package directions. Empty into a large mixing bowl, add butter and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix the remaining ingredients (except marshmallow topping) and beat until well incorporated. Pour into prepared ramekins and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each souffle with a dollop of marshmallow topping. Brown the topping with a torch or place under the broiler until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes that are about the same size. Avoid any with blemishes or bruises.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that the souffle is light and fluffy.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth souffle.
  • Use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they are stiff: This will help to incorporate air into the souffle, making it light and fluffy.
  • Fold the egg whites into the sweet potato mixture gently: This will help to prevent the souffle from deflating.
  • Bake the souffle immediately: Do not let it sit for too long before baking, or it will start to deflate.
  • Serve the souffle immediately: It is best when eaten fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato souffle is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any holiday gathering. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, this souffle is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table!
