Instructions

0 of 10 done
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Poke the sweet potatoes several times with a fork or knife to pierce the skin.

  2. Step 2

    Place on foil or a sheet tray in the oven and bake for 1 hour.

  3. Step 3

    Let yams cool for several minutes, cut in half and scoop out the fluffy insides.

  4. Step 4

    Mash the yams with butter, maple syrup (or brown sugar), evaporated milk and salt until creamy and fluffy.

  5. Step 5

    Cut the oranges in half and slice a very thin disk from the bottom so they rest flat. The skins are actually going to be the “bowls”.

  6. Step 6

    With a pairing knife, cut around the inside rim of the orange removing the orange sections and pulp. Place any of the orange juice and pulp in a bowl and discard the white membranes and seeds. Save the juice and pulp for cranberry sauce recipe or just enjoy as a snack.

  7. Step 7

    Fill each orange cup with 1/4 cup of puree and top with several mini marshmallows. You can cover and refrigerate these overnight at this point if you're prepping in advance.

  8. Step 8

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  9. Step 9

    Place sweet potato filled orange cups on a sheet tray and bake for 20-25 minutes.

  10. Step 10

    Serve.
