Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 5 large sweet potatoes
  • 8 ounces Philadelphia Honey Pecan Cream Cheese If you don't have access to this, you could blend 2 tablespoons honey with 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup cinnamon sugar pecans or regular pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes at 350F or until cooked through and soft.
  • Take out of oven and cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the center of the sweet potato, leaving a thin layer inside the peel. Place the sweet potato filling that you scoop out into a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Drizzle or spray the skins with olive oil and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly crispy. While skins are cooking longer, mix the cream cheese with the sweet potato filling you scooped out. Blend well.
  • Take skins out of the oven and fill each with a scoop of the sweet potato/cream cheese mixture. Top with pecans and marshmallows.
  • Bake another 10 minutes until cooked through. I then broiled them on high for about 5 minutes until the marshmallows were toasted.
