Candied Coconut Sweet Potatoes

Side Dishes

14 Jan
These candied coconut sweet potatoes are the perfect sweet side dish. They may be confused for dessert!

I discovered this delicious dessert side dish when I wanted to make a Thankgiving side dish one year on Our Best Bites. They are sweet and carmelized at the top and everyone loved them. In fact, I served them this past year at Thanksgiving and the person sitting next to me didn’t know I had made them. He leaned over to my step sister and said, “I only put a small little scoop on my plate because I normally don’t like sweet potatoes, but I’m going to get another big scoop because these are so good!” I’m glad he didn’t say, “Man I am glad I only got a small scoop!” 🙂 I love hearing stuff like that, it’s such a compliment! And it’s a testament that these are so good.

The first time I made these I thought there was a little too much butter which made them a little greasy, so I cut the butter in the yam mixture by half and cut down a few Tbsp of butter for the topping and they are perfect. They are a great side dish for any meal!

Candied Coconut Sweet Potatoes
 



 


Printable Recipe
 



 


Ingredients
 



 


4 cup mashed yams (about 4 medium yams or two 29 oz cans, drained and rinsed)
 


6 Tbsp white sugar
 


3 Tbsp butter, softened or melted
 


2 eggs, beaten
 


1/2 of a 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
 


1 tsp vanilla
 



 


Topping:
 



 


1 cup brown sugar
 


1 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
 


4 Tbsp melted butter
 



 


Directions
 



 


1. If using fresh yams, heat oven to 400 degrees, prick each yam with a fork and wrap with tinfoil. Cook for 40-60 minutes until tender. Once they have cooled, cut in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl.
 



 


2. To the bowl, add in sugar, butter, eggs, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Your butter should be soft enough to blend easily so nuke it in the microwave before you add it to the bowl if you need to.
 



 


3. Mix until everything is incorporated but there are still a few yams in larger chunks for a great texture. I use a hand mixer but you can also use a fork. Spread evenly onto a 9 x 13 pan.
 



 


4. For the topping, combine brown sugar and coconut then pour in melted butter and combine. Spread it over the yam mixture.
 



 


5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end. The topping should be nice and browned and will caramelize. Yum!
 



 


6. Remove from oven and enjoy!
Notes: You can make these up to a day or two ahead of time. Keep them well covered in the fridge and don’t put the topping on until just before serving.

Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

This is the best pic I got with my 3 today 😂 Baby is the size of a 🍋 lemon, Harris swore that was his best smile, and Tyler’s finger just had to make itself known in the corner of the pic! Goldie was the most excited about this 😂👯‍♀️

I’m also thinking of those of you who are struggling to grow your families and those of you who have lost your mothers so this day brings up some sadness. ❤️❤️❤️ #parcellsundayselfie #mothersday2022 #mybabiesforever

Goldie is in LOVE with her baby sister or brother and always talks to my belly first thing before she talks to me 😂 She’ll pat my belly gently and say, “hi, baby!” I’m excited to see her become a big sister and for Harris to be a big brother!

Also - CRAZY fact that always blows my mind🤯 the baby in my belly is technically the same age as the twins because the embryos were fertilized at the same time. This embryo was just frozen for 6 years. HOW?!! 😂 #ivfsuccess #goldie_says #frozenembryotransfer #13weekspregnant
Happy Sunday! What do you love to do on Sundays th Happy Sunday! What do you love to do on Sundays that you normally don’t do on other days? One of the things we have started doing after church is @comefollowmecolorclub with my kids! They learn about that week’s lesson (we are studying the Old Testament this year) as they learn to draw something. It’s so much fun for them and feels great for me as parent because they’re having fun while learning about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I got a code for you because I know many of you would be interested as well! Code JENICA gets you 50% off your first month or 20% off the year.

Now give me your good ideas! What makes the sabbath a delight for you? #parcellsundayselfie 5/1/22 #sundaybest #sundayblessings

I’m so interested in studying this more! ❤️ #steveyoung #deseretbook #thelawoflove
