How to Make Amaretto Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and pierce 2 pounds of sweet potatoes several times with a fork.
- Microwave sweet potatoes on high for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until slightly softened.
- While sweet potatoes cook, prepare the custard: In a blender, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons amaretto, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Blend until completely smooth.
- Once sweet potatoes are slightly cool enough to handle, peel and chop into 1-inch pieces.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans into the amaretto custard.
- In a greased 2-quart baking dish, gently combine the sweet potatoes and the custard mixture ensuring the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra pecans if desired.
