[purple]

I got this recipe from somewhere Its so good!

Mallow Whipped Sweet Potatoes

2 cans (23 oz. each) sweet potatoes or yams, drained

6 T. butter, softened, divided

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

2 cups mini marshmallows, divided

3 T. brown sugar (or something sticky)

2 cups gluten-free rice krispies

1. Combine sweet potatoes, 4 T. of the butter, salt and spices. Beat with a mixer until smooth.

2. Stir in 1 cup marshmallows (I add another handful)

3. Spread into a sprayed 1 1/2 quart baking dish.

4. Top with the remaining marshmallows (throw on some extra)

5. Melt remaining butter in a dish or pan and stir in cereal and sugar.

6. Sprinkle over the marshmallows.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until marshmallows get puffy and start to brown.

8. I serve it with a spoonful of whipped cream or topping.

Comments:

This could work as replacement for warm pumpkin "pie", I think it would fill 2 pie plates, but you may want to make a crumb crust for it (hey...that's a good idea). I never tried it cold. I usually make 1/2 a recipe and put it in an 8x8" uncovered baking dish. I am sure Rice Chex would work if you break them up a little. A very easy recipe!

This sounds very good! Thanks for posting.

I wonder if Rice Chex could be used instead of the gluten-free rice krispies? Just wondering because since Rice Chex are so mainstream they COULD possibly be cheaper/easier to find than gluten-free rice krispies.

I think I'll try this one for this year's holiday dinners!!!

Oops....sorry, went back to print the recipe and saw that you did add the question about using Rice Chex... LOL... I didn't get that far the other time... got too HUNGRY!!!!

Thanks for the recipe!!!

What's the texture like? It seems kinda strange, rice krispies on top of sweet potatos.

It just gives it a little crunch kinda like sprinkling nuts on top. Sorta like bread crumbs on top of a casserole. Pretty good though
