INGREDIENTS

  • Yam Base

    • 🍠 4 pounds yams
    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Pecan Topping

    • 🌰 6 ounces pecan halves
    • ⅓ cup brown sugar
    • 🧈 ¼ cup melted butter

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Poke yams in several places with a fork, then cook them on high power in a microwave oven until heated through and soft, about 20 minutes. When cooled, remove skins and place the yams in a large bowl.

3

Beat yams until smooth. Then beat in one egg at a time, blending after each addition. Stir in ¼ cup brown sugar, ⅛ cup melted butter, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg; beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

4

Transfer mixture to an ungreased 3-quart casserole dish. Arrange the pecans in a single layer on top. Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar and drizzle ¼ cup melted butter over the top.

5

Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned and bubbling. Serve warm.
