Preheat oven to 350 degrees and wrap sweet potatoes in foil. Place wrapped sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 1 hour. After 1 hour test sweet potatoes by piercing with a fork, if you can pierce them with a fork easily, they are done baking.

Mash sweet potatoes together with 1/4 cup of butter using a blender, or hand masher. Process sweet potatoes until they are mostly smooth. Add in 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and blend until you have a uniform mixture. Add 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and heavy cream to sweet potatoes and mix in brown sugar and heavy cream.
