Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes washed and scrubbed
- ¼ heavy cream
- ¼ t cinnamon
- ¼ t pure vanilla extract
- kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- 3 T unsalted butter
- 1 T all-purpose flour
- ¼ c crushed Biscoff cookies
- 2 T finely chopped pecans
- 2 T dried cranberries such as Craisins, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until cooked through (~45 minutes). Set aside 15 minutes until cook enough to handle.
- With a very sharp knife, careful slice each potato in half taking care not to tear the thin potato skin. Using a spoon, scoop the potato flesh into a bowl leaving a 1/2 inch thick potato shell so each potato half keeps it shape. To the potato flesh in the bowl, add the cream, cayenne, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Mash ingredients and combine well using a fork or potato masher. Spoon the filling back into the potato skin shells.
- In a bowl, combine the butter, flour, and Biscoff cookie crumbs with a pastry cutter. Stir in the pecans and dried cranberries. Divide the streusel over the filled potato shells.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and bake 20 minutes or until heated through and streusel topping is browned and toasty. Yield: 6 servings.
