Recipe Ingredients:
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 1 cup sugar
- 1-3 eggs (depending on preference and size)
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted (for crumble topping)
Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×13 inch casserole dish with butter and set it aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with the sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, 1 stick of butter (melted), and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a potato masher, blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Sprinkle the pecan crumble evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture in the casserole dish.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the soufflé is set and the top is golden brown. The texture should resemble that of a pumpkin pie.
-
Once baked, remove the soufflé from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm, and it pairs perfectly with savory Thanksgiving or Christmas dishes.
