Instructions
Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the milk until smooth.
Mash the Yams: In a separate bowl, take your yams and mash them thoroughly with a fork until creamy.
Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed yams to the cornstarch mixture along with the butter, eggs, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
Bake the Casserole: Pour the mixture into a greased 13×9 glass baking dish, ensuring an even spread. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Topping: While the casserole bakes, mix the topping ingredients in a saucepan over low heat until they come together smoothly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Final Bake: After 20 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven, spread the topping evenly over the surface, and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling slightly.
Enjoy this comforting and sweet dish at your next holiday gathering, and watch as it becomes a cherished part of your family traditions!
