Directions
- Add 2 cups of water in a roasting pan along with potatoes. Roast potatoes at 350 degrees until tender. Remove skin.
- Mix filling ingredients in a large bowl and whip until smooth and fluffy.
- Crush cracker crumbs and mix crust ingredients
- Pace 1/8 to 1/4 cup cup of crumbs into each ring mold. press lightly for even distribution.
- Add 3/4 cup of filling to each ring mold leaving 1/2 inch of space on top to place nuts/praline sauce. Smooth for even distribution
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min to 1 hr or until set.
- Make praline sauce by adding ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to a boil
- Add 2 tablespoons chopped pecans/walnuts to each ring mold.
- Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of Praline Sauce over each ring mold.
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
- Mix meringue ingredients with an electric mixer until light and fluffy with stiff peaks.
- Mix remaining marshmallow sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Cook until mixture thickens/ reduces by 1/3. (Cooking it to soft ball stage). (For example, at 235° F, the syrup is at the “soft-ball” stage. That means that when you drop a bit of it into cold water to cool it down, it will form a soft ball.)
- Gradually pour this sauce into the merengue while mixing with the electric mixer on high so that it fully incorporates. Be careful not to burn yourself.
