Holiday Sweet Potato Soufflé
Holiday Sweet Potato Soufflé
Sweet potato soufflé is a beloved holiday side that’s sweet enough to double as dessert. Mashed sweet potatoes are whipped with butter and vanilla into a smooth, creamy filling, then baked beneath a crunchy brown sugar and pecan topping that turns golden and caramelized in the oven. The contrast of the velvety base and the crisp, nutty crust makes every spoonful irresistible. It’s a must-have for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and pairs beautifully with turkey, ham, or any festive feast.

Notes
Using Canned Sweet Potatoes: Most canned sweet potatoes are in a sweet syrup. If you choose to use canned sweet potatoes, reduce the amount of sugar used in the filling to 1/2 cup.
Tip on Doubling: If doubling the recipe, blend the sweet potato filling in separate batches unless you have an extremely large blender.
Save Time & Make Ahead: Make the filling the day before and pour into the buttered casserole dish. Place the covered casserole dish in the refrigerator over night.
Mix all of the topping ingredients, except for the butter. Keep in a covered bowl on the counter or in the pantry overnight. Before baking on Thanksgiving, cut the butter into the rest of the topping ingredients, sprinkle evenly over the sweet potato filling, and bake according to the recipe.
