Here’s a simple dessert made from leftover Thanksgiving mashed sweet potatoes. These mini casseroles are a perfect little sweet treat with a crunchy pecan and pumpkin seed topping. Since the sweet potato mash is already done, this will be ready in a flash!
I used two warming winter spices, cinnamon and ground ginger as well as homemade vanilla sugar (feel free to substitute brown sugar for the vanilla sugar). This dessert is wonderfully simplistic but is packed with flavor, perfect this time of year.
