Print Recipe

Delightfully creamy and warmly spiced, Cinnamon Scalloped Sweet Potatoes make a perfect comforting side dish with a hint of sweetness and aromatic cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter a baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  3. Remove the cream mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Arrange a layer of sweet potato slices evenly in the baking dish.
  5. Pour a portion of the cream mixture over the sweet potatoes, then repeat layering with the remaining sweet potatoes and cream mixture.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Notes

For an extra crunchy topping, sprinkle 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs mixed with a tablespoon of melted butter over the dish before baking uncovered.
