Four Sweet Potato Desserts You MUST Try This Holiday Season

Thanksgiving Day is like the Met Gala for old-timey recipes! The grandmas, aunties, and other elders prep the feasts early in the week, from the show’s star (the turkey) to the gatekeepers of ITIS (desserts). And sweet potato pie shines every holiday, but this Thanksgiving, home cooks, are showing the limitless creations that can come with a lil’ ingredients remix.

Now, we KNOW Thanksgiving is not the time to be experimenting, but here are four sweet potato creations to add to your low-vibrational plates this festive season!

Mac & Cheese Sweet Potato Pie

If you like your candied yams and macaroni and cheese touching, this might be the recipe for you! Baker Nikki Moore decided to combine two of soul food’s staples, and the result is giving mouth-watering!

And if you looked at this recipe and thought, “heart attack,” here’s what Nikki had to say to that:

Sweet Potato Cornbread

Another combination of classics! This time last year, Miles Barnett had folks in a chokehold with his sweet potato cornbread. And the home chef is back to whipping up his moist, fluffy, and honey-buttered goodness this holiday season. Kick off your Blackity BLACK Friday shopping by adding his recipe to your cookbook for under $2!

Sweet Potato Casserole

Think candied yams, but not really, and as a casserole! Home chef, Candace, boasts a social audience of 100,000+ followers, who she teaches how to throw down in the kitchen. Amid her remixed recipes like cornbread dressing and cajun butter-infused turkey, Candace also shared one of the ways she serves up sweet potatoes! Besides using all the essential ingredients, Candace topped her remix with a streusel and added marshmallows on top!
