Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Base:

3 large sweet potatoes (about 3 lbs)

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

½ cup evaporated milk or heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp salt

For the Nutty Streusel Topping:

½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prep and Cook Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes. Use the 3-Blade Set on your Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater (secured with its stable suction base) to slice them into thin, even pieces. Boil or steam until tender, then mash in a bowl.

Grind the Nuts: Switch to the 5-Blade Set on the Geedel Grater. Add pecans or walnuts and turn the handle to grind into fine crumbs for the topping.

Mix the Base: Add brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir until creamy.

Make the Streusel: Combine ground nuts, flour, brown sugar, cold butter cubes, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix with your fingers until crumbly.

Assemble and Bake:Preheat your oven. Spread the sweet potato mixture in a greased 9x13-inch dish, top with streusel, and bake until golden and set.

Serve:Let it cool slightly, then serve and enjoy!

Tips and Variations

Sweet Potato Choice: Use orange-fleshed varieties for vibrant color and natural sweetness.

Nut Swap: Try a mix of pecans and almonds (ground with the 5-Blade Set) for varied texture.

Cheese Boost: Sprinkle grated cheddar (2-Blade Set) into the base for a savory twist.

Make Ahead: Assemble a day ahead and refrigerate; bake when ready to serve.

Storage: Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crunchy topping.
