The Perfect Sweetness!

The great taste of Amaretto will make everyone at the table say wow!. Has always been a huge hit, we alternate Holidays with Amaretto and Frangelico in this one.


Either way, it's delicious.


Even my son, that always hated sweet potatoes, loves it now.


This crunchy topping makes all the difference and a hit for everyone here.


Sweet potato lovers will ask for this over and over again!


I make a dish with and without Amaretto and praline topping, the one for the kids has the almond extracts and marshmallows on top.

Tips

1. Boil fresh potatoes first in a little salt water, cool slightly, and add to the food processor to puree peeled or unpeeled
2. Canned sweet potatoes are perfectly fine to use you just need to drain them first they are already soft enough to puree
3. Toasted pumpkin seeds can be substituted for pecans for those with nut allergies
4. Use a good brand of Amaretto for best results, and add more or less to your taste
5. There are two alternative toppings, one with marshmallows and the other with a praline topping choose whichever one you like in the recipe below
6. The casserole can be made ahead of time uncooked and frozen
