Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Amaretto Sweet Potato Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious dish.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, take those delightful crushed amaretto cookies and blend them with half a cup of softened butter until they form a lovely, cohesive mixture.
Step 3
In another bowl, grab your drained sweet potatoes and mash them up with a quarter cup of softened butter until they’re smooth and creamy, just like a warm hug.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in the brown sugar, orange marmalade, amaretto liqueur, and a sprinkle of ground ginger to the mashed sweet potatoes, mixing everything together until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 5
Once your sweet potato mixture is ready, transfer it into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a luscious base.
Step 6
Next, take that cookie mixture and generously sprinkle it over the sweet potato layer, making sure it covers every inch for a delightful crunch.
Step 7
Pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until you see it bubbling and cooked through, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 8
Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this delightful casserole!.
