Print Recipe

These creamy twice baked sweet potatoes with brown sugar are a comforting and versatile dish, perfect for holidays or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one a few times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until soft and tender.
  3. Let the sweet potatoes cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skins.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato flesh, butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon the creamy mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with additional brown sugar and, if desired, chopped pecans.
  8. Place the filled sweet potatoes back on the baking sheet and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

Notes

For extra caramelization, turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end. You can prepare these up to the refilling stage and refrigerate them to bake later.
