Rebekah’s Sweet Potato Souffle

• 2 Cans of Yams (I use Bruce’s Yams 40oz size cans)
• 3 large eggs beaten
• 1 stick of salted butter melted
• ½ cup of sugar
• ½ cup of brown sugar
• 1 ½ cup of milk
• 1/3 tsp of nutmeg
• ¾ tsp of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325^o.

I use a 13 x 9 baking dish for this souffle

Drain Yams and smash with fork or masher. Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer. Pour into the baking dish. Bake 35 to 45 min at 325^o or until firm.

Add topping and bake for an additional 15 minutes. I sometimes add topping at the start of baking. It really is your choice. Just make sure the souffle is not soupy, but firm at the end of baking time, if you put the topping on at the beginning of baking. Allow extra baking time if needed.

• Topping
• ¾ stick of salted butter melted
• ¾ cup of brown sugar
• ¾ cups of pecan pieces (I use pecan halves, put them in a baggie, and crush with a coffee cup!)
• 1 cup of crushed cornflakes (same instructions as pecans!)
• Miniature marshmallows

Add pecan pieces and crushed cornflakes to melted butter and brown sugar and combine them together. Sprinkle over souffle mixture. When baking is done, sprinkle marshmallows over the entire top of the souffle and broil until a lovely brown. Keep an eye on it, they brown quickly!

Enjoy!!

• 1 ½ stick of butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar

Enjoy!
