Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Filling:
- 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (canned or cooked and cooled)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs (well beaten)
- ¼ cup butter (melted)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust Topping:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup flour
- ½ cup butter (melted)
Nutritional Enhancements:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a delectable topping by blending brown sugar, flour, finely chopped nuts, and melted butter until a crumbly texture forms. Reserve this mixture for later use.
- Ignite the oven to a warm 350°F, creating an ideal baking environment. Within a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate velvety mashed sweet potatoes with granulated sugar, a whisper of salt, aromatic vanilla extract, gently beaten eggs, and luxurious melted butter. Whisk the ingredients until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Generously coat a 9×13-inch baking vessel with a protective butter layer. Elegantly transfer the sweet potato blend into the prepared dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Lavishly scatter the prepared nutty crumble across the sweet potato landscape, completely veiling the underlying layer with a tantalizingly textured blanket.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven, allowing it to transform for approximately 30 minutes. Monitor the surface, waiting for a golden-brown crown and a crisp, crackling finish to develop.
- After removing from the oven, grant the casserole a restful period of at least 30 minutes, permitting the layers to settle and flavors to harmonize before serving this decadent side dish.
Notes
- Elevate your holiday table with this indulgent sweet potato casserole that’s both creamy and crunchy.
- Prepare the topping first to ensure a perfectly crisp and golden nutty crumble that adds incredible texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and more even baking throughout the dish.
- Allow the casserole to rest after baking, which helps the sweet potato mixture set and makes serving easier.
- Can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated, then baked just before serving for stress-free entertaining.
