Ingredients

Souffle:

  • 3.5 lbs Sweet Potatoes
  • cup Butter
  • cup Brown sugar packed
  • cup Maple syrup
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg

  • 1 cup Chopped pecans
  • 1 cup Brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup Sorghum flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Pinch Nutmeg
  • ¼ cup Unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Sweet Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash sweet potatoes, use a fork to pierce each all over.
  • Arrange sweet potatoes on the baking sheet, with room between each.
  • Roast until quite tender. Baking time will depend on the size of the sweet potatoes, expect anywhere between 45-65 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool enough to handle. Slice each sweet potato in half, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
  • Mash sweet potatoes, then allow to cool to almost room temperature.

Souffle:

  • Preheat oven to 350F, grease a 8 x 8" baking dish..
  • Add butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg yolks - separating the whites into a separate bowl - vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl of sweet potatoes, set aside.
  • In a clean bowl with clean mixers, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside.
  • Use the mixer to beat the sweet potato mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  • Gently fold egg whites into the sweet potato mixture, until no visible white remains.
  • Spoon batter into prepared baking pan.

Topping:

  • In a medium bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, sorghum flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  • Add melted butter, combine to form a crumbly topping.
  • Sprinkle topping mixture evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until sweet potato batter is cooked through, and topping is golden.
  • Serve hot
