Ingredients

Scale

For the sweet potato base:

  • 3 cups (about 4 large) sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream or milk
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the pecan streusel topping:

  • 1 cup (120 g) chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup (42 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Prepare the sweet potato base:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, granulated sugar, heavy cream, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
    • Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the pecan streusel topping:
    • In a medium bowl, stir together the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and flour. Add the melted butter and mix until crumbly.
  • Assemble the casserole:
    • Sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
  • Serve:
    • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish alongside your favorite holiday main courses.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Prepare the sweet potato mixture and topping separately. Assemble just before baking. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.
  • Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato base for extra warmth.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
