SALTED CARAMEL SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water and gently swirl (NOT stir) the pan around occasionally as it begins to boil. Continue boiling until the caramel reaches a golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. Caramel will sizzle and bubble up. Stir in the salt, and continue whisking until caramel is smooth. Transfer to dish or glass measuring cup to cool. Caramel will continue to thicken as it cools.*
• Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the sweet potatoes in half and place them cut-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife glides easily in and out of a potato. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• Once cooled, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Using a large spoon, scoop the potato flesh out of the skin and into a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes into a smooth consistency. Add the egg and egg white and continue whipping until fully incorporated.
• Pour 1 1/4 cups of the salted caramel into the potatoes and whip until smooth and fluffy. Pour sweet potatoes into an 8x8 inch greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and pecans. Add the melted butter and toss the mixture with a fork until everything is thoroughly combined.
• Sprinkle topping evenly over sweet potatoes. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
• Just before serving, drizzle the rest of the salted caramel over the sweet potato casserole. Store casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
