How to Make Sweet Potato Surprise Balls Oamc

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, mash 2 lbs cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Form the mixture into 14 large balls.
Gently press a large marshmallow into the center of each ball. Cover the marshmallow completely with the sweet potato mixture, ensuring no marshmallow shows.
Roll each ball in 2 cups crushed cornflake crumbs until fully coated.
Place the coated balls in a lightly buttered baking dish.
Flash freeze the balls on a baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before bagging and freezing for long-term storage.
When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and the crumbs are lightly golden brown.
