Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium sweet potatoes, cooked & peeled
1/2 c milk
1/3 c sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
CRUNCHY PRALINE TOPPING
2 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 c com flakes
1/4 c chopped pecans or walnuts- i use pecans
1/4 c firmly packed brown sugar

Steps:

  • 2. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, or until set. It will puff up & start to brown & feel firm to touch.
  • 3. Mix all topping ingredients by hand. Spread on hot puff. May make extra & put on if wanted. I always did. Bake 10 minutes longer. Serve warm.
  • 4. Cooking time above under prep time does not include the time it took to cook the sweet potatoes to start out with. That will vary on how you do it. I would bake them in a 400° oven until soft for maximum flavor.
