Ingredients
- 5½ pounds sweet potato about 6 jumbo sweet potatoes
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup bourbon
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 2 egg
- 8 ounce pineapple canned, crushed, undrained
- ½ marshmallow creme batch homemade
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place potatoes on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1½ hours. Once cool enough to handle, remove the peels (they should just slide right off).
- Add the peeled sweet potatoes to a food processor along with the brown sugar, bourbon, melted butter, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, pepper, eggs, and pineapple. Puree the mixture until completely smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl once or twice if needed.
- Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 3-quart baking dish and bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread with the marshmallow creme. Put the broiler on high and return the baking dish to the oven. Broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Notes
- You can use drained canned sweet potatoes instead of baking fresh ones; simply puree them directly with the other ingredients.
- The recipe's bourbon can be omitted if desired without greatly affecting the casserole's integrity.
- The homemade marshmallow creme topping can be substituted with store-bought marshmallow creme or marshmallows for convenience.
- For toasting the marshmallow topping, a kitchen torch is an alternative to broiling.
