This sweet potato casserole post is courtesy of our contributor Michelle…Today I’ll be sharing one of my favorite Christmas dinner side dishes, Sweet Potato Coconut Crunch Casserole. This recipe is a family favorite and a big crowd-pleaser. This is an easy alternative for the traditional marshmallow yams for Christmas dinner. I make it every year for our company potluck as well as all of our holiday family celebrations. The crunchy topping pairs perfectly with the creamy soufflé for a sweet side dish or dessert.
Sweet Potato Casserole:
- 3 cups cooked sweet potatoes
- 6 tbs coconut oil
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- Topping:

- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup brown sugar

- Add milk, cinnamon and nutmeg then add to mashed sweet potatoes and mix.
- Grease 9x13 casserole dish with a dab of coconut oil, pour in mixture.
- For topping: Combine topping ingredients in a medium bowl, then sprinkle on top of casserole.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Yields 8-10 servings.

The recipe calls for sugar in the sweet potatoes but you do not have any sugar listed except for in the topping. We guessed but you might want to edit that in the list of ingredients.
