Just like the scent of our new candle, the warm sweet-potato base, a drizzle of butter, a hint of vanilla, and a pecan topping create a delicious and comforting experience. It’s perfect for those cozy fall evenings when you want to snuggle up with a good book or enjoy time with loved ones. 🍂
Let’s Get Cooking!
Are you ready to bring the essence of fall into your home? Let’s dive into this delightful recipe that will not only fill your space with warmth but also create a delicious dish that everyone will love!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Sweet Potatoes: About 2½-3 pounds, peeled and chopped.
Milk or Cream: Approximately ½ cup.
Butter: 4 tablespoons, melted.
Eggs: 2 large, beaten.
Sugars: ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup brown sugar (adjust to your taste!).
Vanilla Extract: 1½ teaspoons for that lovely aroma.
Salt: Just a pinch.
Warm Spices: Optional, but I recommend cinnamon and nutmeg for that cozy flavor.
Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- A couple of pinches of salt
- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 350 °F. Grease an 8×8″ baking dish to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Boil or roast the chopped sweet potatoes until they’re tender. This step is crucial for that smooth texture!
Mash It Up: Once tender, mash the sweet potatoes until they’re nice and smooth.
Mix in the Goodness: Add in the milk or cream, melted butter, beaten eggs, both sugars, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle in some warm spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra cozy flavor!
Pour into the Dish: Transfer your delicious mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, chopped pecans (if using), and softened butter. Mix until crumbly, then sprinkle it over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake to Perfection: Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden and the soufflé is set and puffed.
Serve Warm: This dish is best enjoyed warm. Gather your loved ones and dig in!
