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!

Gingerbread Sweet Potato Casserole image

A crisp gingersnap topping earns this Southern sweet potato casserole high marks. Purchase crisp gingersnap cookies rather than the soft variety for making the streusel.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 sweet potatoes (4 pounds)
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/3 cup half-and-half
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold butter or 1/4 cup margarine, cut into pieces
32 coarsely crushed gingersnap cookies (Nabisco brand preferred)

Steps:

  • Cook sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven in boiling water and cover over medium heat 30 minutes or until tender. Cool; peel and mash potatoes.
  • Combine mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and next 4 ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. (Or mash with a potato masher until smooth.) Spoon into a greased 2 1/2-quart pr 13"x9" baking dish.
  • Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and flour. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Stir in crushed gingersnaps. Sprinkle streusel over sweet potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 25 minutes or until streusel is lightly browned.

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 them cook faster and more evenly.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Check them with a fork after about 45 minutes. They're done when they're easily pierced.
  • Make the streusel topping ahead of time: The streusel topping can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Serve the casserole warm: The casserole is best served warm, but it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. To reheat, cover the casserole with foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato casserole with gingersnap streusel is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It's perfect for a holiday meal or a special occasion.
