Ingredients

  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and top with mini marshmallows. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasted.
