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.

I posted this the other day on my IG stories and s I posted this the other day on my IG stories and so many of you were like, “😅 Good to hear!!” So I’ll say it again for those of you who need it.

My twins are almost 5 (in July) and it is SO.MUCH.EASIER 😭 at this age 🤣🤣🤣 Tyler and I actually cannot even believe it. Traveling with them is actually 100% FUN and not 100% exhausting like it was before 😂

So...if you need to hear it...you’ve got this. You’ll make it through the insane toddler stage.

Every day is a gift AND it’s really hard and I’m here to tell you that it gets SO MUCH EASIER! 👏🏻

JUST BECAUSE IT’S HARD DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GRATEFUL!

To all the twin moms who came before me and said 5 was easier, you were right. And thank you 😂 #twinmom #momoftwins
“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plan “Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.” - Horace

For me, one of the best things in the world about being a mom is that they help me to remember the things I once knew, but forgot. Being fully present and accepting what is in the moment, being silly, getting SO EXCITED, and seeing the world with magic.

We all knew these things once. We just forgot a little. 💗💙 #parcellsundayselfie 4/11/21

What is your favorite thing you’ve learned from the beautiful children in your life?
The best part of this phase of life with little ki The best part of this phase of life with little kids is it’s like Team Parcell, you know? Our little group. We can go anywhere and do anything together and just be so happy and grateful that it’s us 4 together. 😭

This is what I want for all who want it. It’s why I absolutely love teaching the tools I do over at @thesliceofsun for women with infertility. They allow you peace of mind in this really hard trial. Why I LOVE you and understand those of you who are in the thick of it so much.

Feeling so grateful for the people in my life including all of you. What a wonderful world 🌎 #lovethesepeople #familyvacations

Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY I want to learn so much more about my Savior as I get older and I’ve decided it’s because I need Him more.

Children don’t have the voice of the adversary in their ears all the time. We do.

My Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ SAVES me from the chaos. He is the peace where it doesn’t make sense for peace to exist.

He knows me and cares for me with a perfect love. The only thing I can slightly compare it to is the love I have for my children. A love so big that forgiveness is possible over and over...and over again.

A love so big He was willing to give His life so we could be saved.

I’ll never be able to repay that debt but I’ll spend every day I have in gratitude and use His atonement that He made for me. For each of us. It will not have been in vain for me.

God be thanked for the matchless gift of His Divine Son 🙏 He is risen! #heisrisen #comeuntochrist #easter2021
Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and we kept trying to figure out to take off layers while also protecting ourselves if we fell 🤣 This is my mom and step dad - my ski buddies who I always go skiing with!
