Description

Sweet potato souffle is rich, creamy, decadent, and topped with a crunchy and buttery pecan streusel. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and a great holiday side dish. 


Ingredients

Scale

For the Souffle:

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 cups mashed sweet potato
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Streusel Topping:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, then coat a 2- quart baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,mix together the butter and sugar for the souffle on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute.
  3. Add in the sweet potato, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and continue mixing for 1-2 minutes, or until smooth.
  4. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer.
  5. Add all of the streusel topping ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined.
  6. Spread the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, until browned on top. The filling should still be slightly jiggly.
  8. Allow the souffle to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
