Ingredients
4 sweet potatoes
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup milk
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
⅛ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until fork-tender.
Let potatoes cool slightly. Slice in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about a ¼-inch border inside the skins. Transfer flesh to a mixing bowl.
Add butter, milk, and cream cheese to the bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until fully combined.
Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, smoothing the tops.
Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until heated through.
Optional: Top with extra butter or a sprinkle of brown sugar before serving.
Notes
For extra texture, top with chopped pecans or walnuts before the second bake.
Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before the final bake.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or plant-based milk.
