Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Poke the sweet potatoes several times with a fork or knife to pierce the skin.
- Step 2
Place on foil or a sheet tray in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
- Step 3
Let yams cool for several minutes, cut in half and scoop out the fluffy insides.
- Step 4
Mash the yams with butter, maple syrup (or brown sugar), evaporated milk and salt until creamy and fluffy.
- 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”.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 8
Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Step 9
Place sweet potato filled orange cups on a sheet tray and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Step 10
Serve.
