Yams Delight

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pretzels sticks
  • 3 sticks of butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2, 8 oz. containers of Cool Whip
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbs. of flour or corn starch
  • 1 tbs. vanilla
  • 3 cups cooked sweet potatoes (I use canned)

Instructions

  1. Crush pretzel sticks into a find dust (I use a blender or Nutribullet for this)
  2. In a 3 qt baking dish, combine pretzels and two sticks of butter and bake for 12-15 (this will melt the butter and, when spread evenly, make the bottom crust)
  3. While that's in the oven, combine your cooked sweet potatoes, egg, 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch/flour and vanilla in a pot, stir and cook over low heat until smooth and thick. You'll need to mash your potatoes during this.
  4. Let your crust and your sweet potato mixture cool
  5. While those are cooling, combine your cream cheese, one container of cool whip and 1 cup of sugar and stir well (using a mixer makes this easier)
  6. Once the crust is completely cooled, spread your cream cheese mixture over the crust.
  7. Then layer on top of that your sweet potato mixture
  8. Finally, top with a layer of cool whip (using your second container)
  9. Refrigerate until ready to serve
