My niece is allergic to cinnamon, so I came up with this variation of a classic sweet potato casserole with pecans recipe. This recipe is for a 3-quart slow cooker, but it can be easily doubled for a 6-quart slow cooker. I prefer to use fresh mashed sweet potatoes as it makes the recipe less sweet, but canned will also work.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease a 3-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine potatoes, white sugar, 1/3 cup butter, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cardamom in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add whipping cream and stir well. Pour into the prepared slow cooker.
Step 3
Combine pecans, 3/4 cup brown sugar, flour, and 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle over sweet potato mixture.
Step 4
Cover and cook on High, 3 to 4 hours.
