Sweet Potato Coconut Casserole VertIngredients

4 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
½ cup canned coconut milk
6 tablespoons Aunt Patty’sⓇ Coconut Oil, divided
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
⅓ cup all-purpose flour

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉. Lightly oil a 9 or 10” square baking dish.
  2. Place potatoes directly on oven rack with a sheet pan on the rack below to catch drips. Bake until tender, 45-60 minutes. When cool enough to handle, scoop out flesh and transfer to a large bowl or food processor. Mash or process until smooth. Mix in ½ cup sugar, coconut milk, 3 tablespoons coconut oil, eggs, cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Scrape into baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl combine ½ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons coconut oil, pecans, coconut, flour, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle over potatoes.
  4. Loosely cover baking dish with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until browned, 10 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
