servings
Ingredients
Yams
- 3 garnet yams medium
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ⅛ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Topping
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Wash yams thoroughly and poke on all sides with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.
- Arrange yams in a spoke pattern on several layers of paper towel in the microwave.
- Cook on the "baked potato" setting or until yams are soft all the way through when poked with a fork.
- Remove from microwave oven and allow to sit and cool for 10 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle.
- Slice yams in half lengthwise and scoop out cooked contents with a spoon. Discard skins.
- In a bowl, combine yams, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and heavy cream. Mix well, mashing with a fork or potato masher until most lumps are smooth.
- Spread yam mixture into a 9x13 glass baking dish or similar casserole dish.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the yams.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the marshmallows are toasted brown. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
