Instructions
Make Sweet Potato Layer

- Drain sweet potatoes and add to a mixing bowl. Allow sweet potatoes to cool so the eggs don't curdle when mixed in.

- Mix with a hand mixer until smooth.
- If needed, you can add more milk depending on the consistency of the sweet potato mixture.

Make Walnut Topping
- Add 1 stick of melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut flakes, 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans or walnuts to a bowl.
- Mix completely.
- Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.
Cook
- Bake at 350 ℉ (177 ℃) for about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Notes
- Pecan can be used in place of walnuts.
- The butter can be cut in half if wanting to lighten this up.
