Method 4 steps
In mixing bowl with electric mixer, beat yams. Add in remaining main ingredients, beating until mixture is light and fluffy. Butter a 12-inch porcelain quiche dish or a shallow 2 quart casserole dish (7x11 inches / 18 x 28 cm). Pour in yam mixture, smoothing top evenly.
Make praline topping by mixing all ingredients together in small bowl. Spread evenly over the yams. May be refrigerated covered overnight.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 45–50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
