Name: Maple Meringue Sweet Potato Casserole
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 2 h 15 min
Yield: 8 - 10 serving(s)
Ingredients: 4 lb. sweet potatoes; 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract; 1/2 c. dark brown sugar; 4 oz. cream cheese; 6 tbsp. butter; 3/4 tsp. kosher salt; 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon; 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg; 2 large eggs; 3 egg whites; 1/4 c. maple syrup; 1 jar marshmallow crème

Step 1Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet 1 hour or until tender. Let cool to touch and peel. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Step 2Beat sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and next 6 ingredients at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until smooth. Beat in whole eggs. Spoon potato mixture into a greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Step 3Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg whites, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt at high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until foamy. Gradually add maple syrup, beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 4Beat one-third of marshmallow crème into egg white mixture; repeat with remaining marshmallow crème, beating until smooth (about 1 minute). Pipe or spread meringue in a decorative pattern on warm potatoes. Bake 13 to 15 more minutes or until meringue is lightly browned.
