RUM AND SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

• Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and sugar. Stir in the eggs. Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and a half cup of melted butter. Gradually stir in the rum until well blended.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, pecans, flour and the remaining melted butter (1/3 cup). Sprinkle this mixture over the mashed sweet potato mixture.

RUM SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel off the skins and puree the flesh in a food processor until smooth. (You?ll need 2 cups sweet potato puree.)
• Gently roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 91/2-inch deep-dish pie dish; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges. Line the crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and continue to bake until the crust is golden on the bottom, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
• Combine the sweet potato puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, melted butter, 3 tablespoons rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until combined. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until the filling is set, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it gets too dark.) Place the pie on a rack and let cool, about 2 hours.
• Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and beat with the mixer until thickened. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon rum and the orange zest. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie topped with the whipped cream.

SWEET POTATO BALLS WITH VANILLA RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Bake the sweet potatoes with the skin ON (brush with oil, poke holes with a fork, and leave in the oven for about 45 minutes)
• Once they finish, peel and mash them. Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Stir in only 2/3 cup of brown sugar, all orange juice, all orange zest and all nutmeg.
• Place coconut in a food processor and leave on for about 30 seconds.
• In a small bowl, combine coconut, granulated sugar and cinnamon.
• Press mashed potatoes around the marshmallow, creating a 1" in diameter ball. The easiest way is to roll it around using both hands. You'll be a pro in no time!
• Roll the balls in the coconut mixture and place in a 9x13 casserole dish.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Now, while those are cooking, make your drizzling/dipping sauce: In a big pan melt the remaining brown sugar (1 cup) and butter.
• Add rum and heavy cream.
• Put all pecans (optional) in the food processor for about a minute. Then add them to your sauce.
• When the sweet potato balls are done, gingerly drizzle the rum sauce on them, or place the sauce in a condiment cup to the side.
