Ingredients

The Soufflé:
3 to 4 cups sweet potatoes, steamed and peeled
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup salted butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
The Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup salted butter
1/8 cup self-rising flour

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: In a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to mash the steamed sweet potatoes until smooth and fluffy.
Combine Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, and cinnamon to the potatoes. Mix thoroughly until the batter is creamy.
Transfer: Spray a baking dish with cooking spray (like Pam) and pour the sweet potato mixture in, smoothing the top.
Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, use a pastry fork or blender to combine 1/4 cup butter, brown sugar, and self-rising flour until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Assemble: Sprinkle the pecan crumble evenly over the sweet potato base.
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the soufflé is set and the topping is golden and crisp.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips The secret to a true "soufflé" texture is whisking the potatoes well in your mixer to get them light and airy before adding the other ingredients. If you have any leftovers (though you probably won't!), this is just as good served cold the next day!
