foreign and today we are making sweet potato casserole sent To Us by you guys our subscribers
yes thank you we don't have a specific person lots of people sent us this so we're not going
to go through each person and thank them because that would take the whole video however we are so
excited for this one because I feel like we've been talking about sweet potato casserole for
Thanksgiving I sucked a lot for years we're like sweet potato marshmallow what and so the
fact we're actually getting to try it is going to be incredible I mean we've tried some dishes
that were not legit so we wanted to make it in our kitchen and just be like let's see if we can make
it in an authentic way and try what America's food really has to offer and the thing is we're
actually going to divide up into two different toppings so the the main body will be the same
but we've had marshmallow toppings sent to us and we've also had some pecan floury sugary mix
on top also since I still do half and half and then taste test it it only seems fair it only
yeah and it might be criminal because you guys like they're two different dishes yeah
but we were like if the base is the same yeah it's like doing a pizza I like mushrooms he
doesn't so it's just like half and half and half I'm not a big fan of marshmallows do you
know what I've got a massive Sweet Tooth but even I don't really like marshmallows
I mean I like them as part of a dish but I'd never sit down with a bag of marshmallows like
no I don't want to eat chocolate yeah I agree with you there but guys I know that this is
technically like essentially for a Savory dish like even though it's sweet it's served with
turkey and stuff for Thanksgiving but as it is sweet I am gonna be head chef for this episode
and I'm gonna be sous chef day congratulations soon guys we need aprons and we need to Chef
out yeah we do because that would just make it so perfect I'm actually we could do one
live as well we're like guys who do you want to be head chef and we hover the the Hat above
us and then they vote and then it's like yeah he's so good okay so head chef what is first
so first job is to peel and boil the sweet potato which we have done earlier guys so
John was peeling these and we boiled them for quite some time they're nice and soft
ready for mashing down and I'm happy to start mashing I'll start with a fork because I can't
find the Masher yeah if you want a pre-mash yeah and then we can get the Whisk out and
whisk in the rest of the ingredients sounds good um just because yeah we
don't have a Masher on hand okay we need to ask okay Google how many grams is in a cup
that's all 250 grams yeah but we're doing half of that no no we're doing cups this is half a cup oh
okay can she shut up okay Google stop sorry guys we've set off your Googles yeah right
so we need half of the butter so it's about 100 grams straight down the middle one okay
that's a lot of butter isn't it so that needs to be melted okay that's been melted um yeah I mean
it's nearly mashed so you just go for it it's me squirting it all over not over a brand new clothes
it's so funny sweet potato Es are meant to be like sweet from nature but I love that we add
butter to it yeah I love butter sugar milk and two eggs so this is oh eggs I've got Tomatoes
yeah there you go there you go so instead of using another porcelain Bowl should we
just pop that on the scales and then measure out the sugar it sounds like a great yeah it
saves washing up doesn't it yeah so let me just zero that for you I reckon 100 grams of sugar
so 125 of sugar okay I shall tell you what stop that's 127. so I can leave that so we can whisk
the yeah again zero it again okay a third of a cup of milk the difference so we're on 70
86. and then two eggs and then you can whisk it together okay so eggs are going in you really
did do you know it's my viewers that taught me yeah not to crack an egg on the side of the
bowl like it on a flat surface because then the egg doesn't go in if you crack down the side of
the bowl it would force some of the shell in okay because if you crack it on a flat surface it just
does a flat crack that's amazing but then you get heavy surface oh no you didn't you didn't
get any well any events okay so with this now I'm guessing we're just gonna do some women
I love this for us this is it's a lot of fun using a whisk this Series has never felt so
real we've never thought here we are baking and cooking away in the kitchen I read somewhere that
I have to spray the baking dish with like the oil spray okay I'll do that so as a Greek it is a bit
criminal to buy this sort of like spray oil it's not a real one no it's to me like oh my God it's
53 virgin olive oil insulting but okay we roll we roll with it and you know what I'm gonna put
some vanilla extract in this we're going on two recipes guys one says not to add vanilla yeah
the old one says to add it so I'm just gonna add it now what's hilarious is this like yeah vanilla
so off one of the recipes it says you can like spoon in some pecans now yeah pecans so what
we're going to do is exactly that and then obviously that'll form the base of the whole
dish so some of the marshmallow one will actually have pecan below oh wow we're just gonna have to
deal with that so shall I sort of crush them a bit I think that's good it's nice to add a bit
of crunch yeah I mean should I just thought it's such a fold it in yeah so don't worry yeah you
can't you'd want something big like a spatula rather than a teaspoon but okay that's fine I
think you could put more in to be honest it's gonna be very nutty okay I'll let you guys give
me the feedback on that yeah guys comment down below if you have any feedback right now we need
you to spoon it into this okay I do have a thingy going around somewhere but I don't know where let
us know who makes this for Thanksgiving yeah is this a staple in every household or is this just
something that you only do if you like sweet things right so the next thing is to make the
two toppings so I think what I'm gonna do is leave Lea in charge of coating with pecans and
marshmallows on her half and in this separate Bowl I'm going to put together light brown sugar finely
chopped pecans all-purpose flour and some butter and then you drizzle that on top sounds great so
I think just do it however much you want don't bother about water up like how many pecans do
you want you're free to make your decision oh my gosh okay I just feel like such a creative
girl right now yeah you know what I mean like I just feel so fulfilled like I've got purpose
baking myself happy making myself happy not a cheap recipe I'd say guys nuts are not cheap
so Joel's just chopping them you just do it roughly guys if you get some bigger pieces
that's fine it's it's Feast for the palette yeah sometimes it's nice to get a big nut and do you
think I've done okay here on this you've done a fantastic job there because they're all very
varied sizes it's a nice coating all it needs now is marshmallows however that side on that side on
top of them something else there however it does say miniature marshmallow so you might need to
either we go big marshmallows or you chop them up I'm going big go big or go home that's what
they say in America they do and we're American today yeah exactly so I'll just lay these on
sort of one by one pink and white in color which is quite nice we love that we love the variation
do we get confused by Americans calling plain flour all-purpose flour because I do because
what's the difference then because we have self-raising flour which has baking powder
in it right or plain flour which doesn't right but I think Americans call plain all-purpose and
it's like well it's not all purpose is it because it's not self-raising rice it doesn't sound like
understood I am just going to use the sweet potato we whisk because it's all going in the
same place really okay fine I'll wash them no you know you do you you're the head chef today okay
there we go oh this is the lowest speed oh my gosh so basically it's supposed to be like a
crumble mix that you then sprinkle onto the potato oh my God so that's why it looks a bit dry wow
it's doing all right huh thank you wow that looks good what we're doing is one pink one white one
white hopefully they've given me enough of the right color oh I mean there's another pack but
you might want to keep that extra pack and give it to the homeless shelter yeah anything we don't use
goes to somewhere yeah right so that's all of the marshmallows in one pack so I could do more but
we can see how we get on really so I think that looks quite good I think that looks really good
nice one maybe it should be a bit drier than this guys because it says to sprinkle but this feels a
bit like cookie mixture really like before you cook it yeah um but you know what it will melt
because it's got butter in it yeah and we're gonna see who's half is is nicer than mine or
yours this more improvised and this is a bit more like soldiers regimented little Mafia soldiers
look at that I'm excited to see what that turns into actually yeah so that's what we're kind of
left with now guys what we're dealing with um it looks quite cool it's like little mountains
I won't press them down oh should I put the nuts on top or is that it that's it that's it it's got
nuts in it nuts in it okay wow um so guys this now goes in the oven at 375 fahrenheit which is
200 and something it's been preheated it's been come we're going in okay good luck 25 minutes
so guys you can see the marshmallows are swelling up and they're starting
to melt all of this crumbly side is just melting it's gonna be so good it has been
this bad boy this big man is done this Big Mac so this is like pure Thanksgiving Vibes right this is
so thanksgivingy like even just looking at it makes me feel grateful right now oh let's say
something is great I'm grateful for sweet potatoes and I'm grateful for our subscribers oh you're not
subscribed Please Subscribe yeah please subscribe okay guys um right we're gonna put a scoop of like
one in One Bowl One in the other and taste test both okay so you want Corner yeah doing nice oh
my gosh like this is just wow it really is lucky make sure I get all the goodness yeah
all the crispy bits are gonna be amazing so and then I'm going to the other side shall I yeah
okay this one looks less appealing but for some reason I'm like is it gonna be nicer
look at those colors it looks like Halloween first things I'll try the
crispiness of the marshmallows I think that'll be nice yeah yeah hopefully it won't be too dead hot
you can test that yeah should be hot okay okay really the texture reminds me of semolina yeah
they taste the texture is like it's soft but it's got a bit grainy texture to it not in
a horrible way it just tastes like semolina semolina that's crazy guys if you know what
semolina is comment down below if you call it semolina in the US or if it's different shut up
as Joel said right now I'm going in for gray pecan topping just thinking about all that sugar right
yeah nice really a bit of marshmallow no okay I got it that is really nice like
the crunchy pecan and the crispiness of the sugar and it doesn't tastes deserted
doesn't it it's really deserting I'm gonna have another little bit
um yeah wow you've done a really good job of that topping thank you yeah it's a little bit hot that
is really good that is nice I like that it's like three quarter yeah I think I'll prefer this one oh
no that means we're gonna be underwhelmed okay oh really hot yeah it's the physical jumping
doesn't it have a semolina texture yeah it's all right but the marshmallow melted has turned into
the texture of like you say yeah semolina but still then guys we thought we'd hate
this we yeah I feel so sorry I'm so sorry we've criticized this dish yeah in every Thanksgiving
Video we've ever done going right uh did you put sugar and marshmallow and stuff into sweet
potato but it tastes really good but I still wouldn't have this with turkey like I'd have
this as a dessert that is a dessert that is 100 a dessert like maybe on a Sunday dinner a tiny
bludge of it on the side just sweet enough stuff but that is so dessert so it's so sweet we just
started saying it was so sweet I'm so I'm so impressed America they've done it again happy
