Ingredients

For Base:

5 sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked, and mashed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup white sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream

For the topping:

1/4 cup butter, softened

3 tablespoons flour

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, salt, 1/4 cup butter, eggs, vanilla, ground cinnamon, sugar, and heavy cream. Mix until well incorporated.

Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup butter, flour, light brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Mix until coarse using a pastry blender or your fingers.

Sprinkle the pecan brown sugar topping over the top of the sweet potato mixture.

Bake in the oven until the pecans turn toasty-brown in color, for about 30 minutes.

Serve warm!
