Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole
Description
This Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole begins with smooth mashed sweet potatoes that are sweetened with brown sugar and combined with cinnamon and butter. The topping is a crumbly streusel made with cinnamon, butter, brown sugar, and flour, providing a contrasting texture. Marshmallows are layered between and above the streusel for a melty, soft finish.
Baking at 400°F for a short 6 minutes allows the marshmallows to toast lightly without burning, so attentive watchfulness is important. The dish balances creamy, sweet potatoes with crunchy and soft textures for a layered eating experience.
This casserole suits festive meals or comfort food occasions where a rich sweet side complements savory dishes. It is best served hot directly from the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potato
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon quantity: 1/2 tsp
- 2 tbsp butter softened & divided, quantity: 5 tbsp
- 1 tbsp brown sugar quantity: 4 tbsp
- pinch salt
- 5 tbsp flour
- 2 cups marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 5 tbsp butter, 4 tbsp brown sugar, and flour. Combine until it becomes a sticky, sand like consistency. Set aside.
- Make your mashed sweet potatoes. You can do this in the Instant Pot (see recipe coming to the blog in just 2 days), or you can peel and boil them on the stove.
- Once boiled and soft, drain them and add them back to the pot with 1 tbsp brown sugar and the remaining butter and cinnamon. Mash until smooth.
- Spread your mashed sweet potatoes smoothly and evenly into a large casserole dish.
- Sprinkle half of the marshmallows across the top (there will be gaps at this point).
- Sprinkle half of the streusel topping across the top.
- Top with remaining marshmallows and streusel.
- Bake in the oven at 400°F for 6 minutes. WATCH CLOSELY. You do not want the marshmallows to burn.
- Remove from the oven and serve hot.
