Ingredients:

  • 6 large sweet potatoes, baked, peeled, and mashed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup good bourbon
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • mini-marshmallows

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients well; beat well, until light and fluffy. If needed add a little more milk. Spoon sweet potato mixture into a buttered casserole dish; bake at 350° until set, about 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with marshmallows and bake until marshmallows melt and just begin to brown. If desired garnish with finely grated orange zest instead of marshmallows, and skip the final baking time.
Serves 8.

Excellent Recipe!November 28, 2008By mommaliesel
"I made this recipe exactly as written only I baked it with pecans on top and then toasted the marsh-mellows as directed at the end of the baking process. It was very sweet and I may back off on the sugar next time (trying 1/2 cup maybe.) I used Maker's Mark bourbon. The pecans added a wonderful flavor reminiscent of pecan pie and though it seems like such a small amount of cinnamon and allspice that the recipe calls for, it was perfect. I also did this dairy free using rice milk instead of cow's milk. I baked this in a 13x9 casserole and it took at least 45 min to bake. I'll be making this one often! It was a huge hit."
