Sweet Potato Praline Marshmallow Casserole

Sweet Potato Praline Marshmallow Casserole

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 or 4 large)
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup pecan pieces
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with the tines of a fork and transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.

  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and set them  aside to cool for at least 1 hour before handling.

  • Make sure the oven rack is in the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Place the potatoes on a cutting board and cut in half crosswise. Gently but firmly squeeze each potato to remove the meat from the skin. Discard the skins and place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

  • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, the heavy cream, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, the orange juice, cinnamon, allspice, and salt to the potatoes, and mix well with a large wire whisk until smooth.

  • In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar, and the pecan pieces. Stir with a fork to blend well.

  • Spoon the mashed sweet-potato mixture into a 9-inch cake pan. Dot the top evenly with the pecan mixture, then arrange the marshmallows over the nuts.

  • Bake until the marshmallows are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

  • Using the mitts or pot holders, remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
