Four Sweet Potato Desserts You MUST Try This Holiday Season

Four Sweet Potato Desserts You MUST Try This Holiday Season

Thanksgiving Day is like the Met Gala for old-timey recipes! The grandmas, aunties, and other elders prep the feasts early in the week, from the show’s star (the turkey) to the gatekeepers of ITIS (desserts). And sweet potato pie shines every holiday, but this Thanksgiving, home cooks, are showing the limitless creations that can come with a lil’ ingredients remix.

Now, we KNOW Thanksgiving is not the time to be experimenting, but here are four sweet potato creations to add to your low-vibrational plates this festive season!

Mac & Cheese Sweet Potato Pie

If you like your candied yams and macaroni and cheese touching, this might be the recipe for you! Baker Nikki Moore decided to combine two of soul food’s staples, and the result is giving mouth-watering!

And if you looked at this recipe and thought, “heart attack,” here’s what Nikki had to say to that:

Sweet Potato Cornbread

Another combination of classics! This time last year, Miles Barnett had folks in a chokehold with his sweet potato cornbread. And the home chef is back to whipping up his moist, fluffy, and honey-buttered goodness this holiday season. Kick off your Blackity BLACK Friday shopping by adding his recipe to your cookbook for under $2!

Sweet Potato Casserole

Think candied yams, but not really, and as a casserole! Home chef, Candace, boasts a social audience of 100,000+ followers, who she teaches how to throw down in the kitchen. Amid her remixed recipes like cornbread dressing and cajun butter-infused turkey, Candace also shared one of the ways she serves up sweet potatoes! Besides using all the essential ingredients, Candace topped her remix with a streusel and added marshmallows on top!

We love all manner of seasonal drinks, but bourbon is arguably the most beloved seasonal spirit to mix into your boozy bevvie come November and December. This concoction, however, also throws butterscotch into the mix, so it’s officially our go-to bourbon cocktail choice for the season.

Butterscotch Bourbon Milk Punch

Ingredients

For The Cocktail:

  • 4 ounces bourbon
  • 1 cup whole milk or cream
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ground nutmeg, for garnish
  • Vanilla bean, split, for garnish
  • Homemade butterscotch syrup, for the rim

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or pink salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

To Make The Syrup:

  1. In a 2 quart sauce pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add in the brown sugar and stir until the brown sugar resembles wet sand. Stir in the half teaspoon of salt.
  2. Increase the heat to medium and stir occasionally until the mixture is bubbling up, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add in the cream, lower the heat slightly, and whisk it all together until it is uniform and any lumps dissolve.
  4. Keep cooking the syrup for another 5 to 7 minutes until it reaches the temperature of 225 degrees F. Use a digital or candy thermometer, and if you don’t have one, stop simmering after a few minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn..
  5. Remove the pot from the burner, then add in the vanilla extract. Let the butterscotch syrup cool slightly and adjust the vanilla extract and salt amounts as needed after trying it. It will thicken up as it cools. This makes a large batch, so use it with cocktails, cookies, cakes, and ice cream!
  6. Once the syrup is cooled completely, store it in a glass jar with a lid and refrigerate it for up to a month.

To Assemble The Cocktail:

  1. Add bourbon, milk or cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a large shaker with a few pieces of ice. Shake the ingredients together.
  2. Dip the rim of each glass into the homemade butterscotch syrup, then add a large ice cube or several smaller ice cubes into the glass, topping with the milk punch. Garnish each drink with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, and a split vanilla bean. Serve immediately and with cookies!
