I have had this recipe for years now, it's very rich and fattening. I prefer the cream to evaporated milk, but you can cut some fat by using the milk instead. That's why I only make it at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do.

This sweet potato casserole will be a wonderful addition to your holiday table. Almond and vanilla extracts add a slightly different flavor profile than most sweet potato casseroles. They add richness to the dish. On top is a sugary crust with pecans that add crunch and flavor. So good!
