Instructions

- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Fill the Phyllo Shells: Spoon the sweet potato mixture into the mini phyllo shells, filling each shell almost to the top.
- Bake: Bake the filled phyllo shells for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the shells are golden brown.
