This sweet potato casserole without pecans is one of my most-requested dishes, and it’s perfect for Easter, Thanksgiving, or anytime you need a fancy side dish. It looks much more difficult to make than it is, and guests are always impressed! Even people who don’t like sweet potatoes ask for second helpings. I hope you enjoy it too. Maple syrup can be substituted for vanilla extract.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes, cover, and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart souffl? dish. Sprinkle the dish with 1 tablespoon white sugar, shaking the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides.
Step 3
Place sweet potatoes into the bowl of a food processor. Add eggs, cream, 3/4 cup sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Process until mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared souffl? dish.
Step 4
Bake the sweet potato mixture in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 5
Bake the sweet potato mixture until edges are slightly browned, about 40 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature.
