This was one of the side dishes that I made for this year’s Thanksgiving. It is a yummy spiced sweet potato filling with a yummy crispy brûlée sugar crust. I do not like posting recipes without step-by-step photos, but with all the things going on with the holiday, it was unable to accomplish that. I will give you detailed step-by-step instructions, and the final photo looks awesome. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make holiday side essentials: sweet potato brûlée

1
PREP/PREPARE

2
What will you need? You can make this recipe in a single ovenproof baking dish, or you can place it into separate serving dishes (ramekins), like I did.
3
How to store it? You can make this a day or two ahead of time and bake it on the day you are serving it. Or you can freeze it for several months.
4
Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
5
Cook the potatoes in boiling water, or bake in a 350f/175c, until a fork or paring knife slides easily into the flesh. If baking, do not forget to prick them with a fork.
6
When cool enough to handle, remove, discard the skins, then place the flesh into a mixing bowl.
7
Add the eggs, milk or cream, vanilla, sugar, salt, and sweet butter, then mash together until smooth.
8
Pour mixture into a lightly greased casserole dish, or individual ovenproof serving dishes (ramekins)
9
The Brûlée Topping
10
Add flour, coconut sugar, and pecans to a mixing bowl. Add butter and cut in with a fork or pastry blender until well combined. Sprinkle topping over sweet potato mixture.
11
Bake at 350f for 35-40 minutes.
12
PLATE/PRESENT
13
Remove from the oven, then sprinkle some coconut sugar over the tops, and place under a broiler until the sugar melts and begins to brown, or use a Brûlée torch.
14
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
15
Namasté
