Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

With the addition of cream cheese, they are very creamy and not overly sweet.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 2

Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

Step: 3

Cut a thin lengthwise slice from the top of each sweet potato and discard slice. Scoop pulp from sweet potatoes, leaving thin shells. Place pulp into a bowl and mash with cream cheese. Stir brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon into mixture and fill sweet potato shells with pulp. Place filled sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet.

Step: 4

Bake until sweet potatoes are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
