Ingredients
For the Casserole:
- 3 cups sweet potatoes cooked, peeled and mashed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the Topping:
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 1 1/2 quart casserole pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook, peel and mash the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl and allow them to cool at room temperature so that they don’t scramble the eggs when they are added.
- Add the sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg to the large mixing bowl. Mix these ingredients together thoroughly with an electric mixer until smooth and combined.
- Add in the heavy cream and mix until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole pan.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the topping ingredients.
- Sprinkle the topping mixture on top of the sweet potato mixture in the casserole dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center of the casserole is set.
- Remove the casserole from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!
