Directions
Spray your slow cooker with some cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes inside, then add the butter and a little water. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, or on high if you’re short on time—around 2 hours—until the potatoes are really tender when you poke them with a fork. Once they’re soft, turn off the slow cooker. Stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy cream, a splash of maple extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Use an immersion blender to mix everything until smooth and creamy. To finish, sprinkle some mini marshmallows on top for a sweet, cozy touch.
Best Foods To Serve With This
Serve warm alongside roasted meats or grilled vegetables. It also works well topped with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
Refrigeration Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess if needed.
