Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and place them directly on the oven racks. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, until tender.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the smooth sweet potato mash into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the combined sweet potato and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spread evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Blend in softened butter until crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes.
  8. Allow the soufflé to cool slightly before serving.
