Sweet potato casserole is an untypical dessert with a remarkable autumn flavor and scent. Crunchy nut topping and crusty stringy marshmallows create a very interesting texture combined with soft mashed sweet potatoes. This Thanksgiving treat is a perfect hot dessert for cold days.
Use a whisk or a big spoon if you don't have a mixer. Add the liquid ingredients and mashed potatoes gradually. It will be easier to make the texture smooth.
If you don't have any pecans, any nuts will do. The best options you can pick are walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts.
Don't shy away from spices. Such spices as vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamon make your casserole fragrant and appetizing.
Roasting sweet potatoes will add extra flavor to your casserole. They will be a bit drier and sweeter. In this case, you will not need to mix the casserole as thoroughly before baking. You can leave the potatoes in the shape of cubes.
Here's why you need to add eggs to sweet potato casserole. It will make the ingredients stick together. Your casserole will be more like a cake but not a porridge.
If you hesitate about whether to cover sweet potato casserole when baking or not, you can try both options. The main difference is that you won't have a crust on the top of the marshmallows if you cover the casserole. Another disadvantage is that the marshmallows might stick to the cover when they melt.
Preheat your oven. Prepare the sweet sauce while you boil sweet potatoes. Add mashed potatoes to the sweet topping and mix until it becomes smooth. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sweet potato casserole needs to spend not more than 25-30 minutes in an oven. If you bake a big portion, you can bake it for 30 minutes but reduce the heat to 300 degrees. To reheat the dish, put it in a microwave for 1 minute or in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
The foods and additives that go well in sweet potato casserole:
When it's already baked:
If you want to make a more sophisticated topping, mix nuts with two tablespoons of flour and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Make it the second layer of the casserole. Then you can top it with marshmallows.
You can leave it for 30 minutes at room temperature or put it in the fridge. It is not a necessary step, though.
After baking, there is no need to wait long. The casserole can sit until it cools down and will not be too hot to serve.
