Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cups pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 minutes or until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off their skins and place the flesh in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the sweet potato flesh.

Step 6

Mash the mixture using a potato masher or fork until smooth and well combined. Alternatively, use a hand mixer on low speed for a creamier texture.

Step 7

Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Top the sweet potato mixture with mini marshmallows, spreading them evenly across the surface.

Step 9

If using, sprinkle chopped pecans over the marshmallows for added crunch and flavor.

Step 10

Bake the dish at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and lightly toasted.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Bourbon Sweet Potato Fluff!
