Today I’m sharing probably my favorite fall sweet potato dessert: Sweet Potato Soufflé.

I love sweet potatoes. My dog Chance does too. 🙂 If I don’t mix pumpkin purée into his food, I’ll bake up a batch of sweet potatoes and mix them in with brown rice, meat and veggies. I had an extra sweet potato left over from making this and gave him to him as a treat all mashed up in a bowl. Needless to say, he inhaled it.
This Sweet Potato Soufflé has a hint of nutmeg in the sweet potato mixture topped with a buttery coconut pecan topping… it’ll make you the rock star of the dessert table this fall!
I’ve made it every year for Thanksgiving since I can remember. Well, except for last year, but I was in the middle of moving. But I did bring this Cheesy Squash Casserole to my mom’s that’s always big hit so I was forgiven.
