Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Roast the sweet potatoes

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for 45-50 minutes until very soft when squeezed. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and discard.

Step 3: Prepare the marshmallow cream

Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy, for about 2 minutes. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.

Step 5: Assemble the parfaits

Select 4-6 clear glasses or parfait cups. Start with a layer of graham cracker crumbs (about 2 tablespoons) at the bottom. Add a layer of sweet potato mousse (about ¼ cup), followed by a layer of marshmallow cream (about ¼ cup). Repeat the layers once more. Top with a final sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans if using. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
