Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cut 1/2 inch off one end of each orange and spoon out flesh. Place orange shells into a deep casserole dish.
  3. Mix sweet potatoes, white sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, orange juice, eggs, vanilla, and orange zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into orange shells.
