SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOW & PECAN-STREUSEL RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow & Pecan-Streusel Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

TOPPING:
4 whole medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole milk, I used 2% and it worked out fine
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, optional
1 jar marshmallow fluff, or creme
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
3/4 cups flour
3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375°F oven until fork tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, 1 cup milk, you can use half and half for a richer texture, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the pumpkin spice, if using. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough, you don't want to be perfectly smooth. Otherwise, I think the texture is too much like baby food. Your choice. Note: I used a hand mixer, on low speed, in spurts so as not to puree the sweet potatoes too much. Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped, that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them, 3/4 cup flour, and 3/4 stick of melted butter. With a fork, mix until thoroughly combined. Note: You can easily make this a day or two ahead Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top. I used individual ramekins. If adding the marshmallow creme, add it before the topping. You could use miniature marshmallows, but I really liked the creaminess of the marshmallow creme. You could leave the marshmallow out, altogether, and this is still a delicious recipe. Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH GINGERSNAP STREUSEL



Sweet Potato Casserole With Gingersnap Streusel image

This was taken from a magazine I subscribe to, and it is absolutely too good to lose track of, so I am posting it. I made this when I hosted Thanksgiving last year, and it had rave reviews from everyone. At the time I substituted milk for the half and half with no ill-effects. I also made it two weeks ahead of time and stuck it in the freezer until the night before the big day. Enjoy!

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Casserole/Gratin

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
5 Tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Butter 9- by 13-inch baking dish or 2-quart casserole. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pierce each potato with fork and transfer to baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 50 minutes. Cool until easy to handle. Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out flesh into large bowl. Add sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla and mix until smooth. Spread mixture in prepared dish and cool completely. In medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the streusel topping: This will give the casserole the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the streusel topping: This will make it tough.
  • Serve the casserole warm: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato casserole is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends.
