Large bowl
small bowl
hand mixer
- 3.4 ounces vanilla instant pudding
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 15 ounces sweet potatoes with syrup or yams
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
In a large mixing bowl, beat the vanilla instant pudding, pumpkin pie spice, and milk for 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and beat, scraping down as needed, until combined.
Combine the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture until blended. Fold in the whipped topping.
Fold in the marshmallows and nuts.
Serve topped with additional whipped topping and nuts, if desired.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened, otherwise it will not blend up creamy.
- Fold in the whipped cream gently to prevent it from going flat.
- You can use fresh sweet potatoes, just bake until fully softened. Then allow the potatoes to fully cool. I would also add a little sugar to make sure they are sweet for this fluff.
