Recipe View 10 mins Remove the casserole from the oven and evenly spread the cornflake mixture over the top. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the marshmallows are lightly toasted.

For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of melted butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns a nutty brown and emits a fragrant aroma. Let it cool slightly before adding to the sweet potato mixture.
If using canned sweet potatoes, drain them well and reduce the granulated sugar by 1/4 cup, as canned sweet potatoes are often packed in syrup.
To prevent the cornflake topping from burning, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, in the topping. You can also add a pinch of salt to the topping to enhance the sweetness.
This casserole can be prepared a day ahead. Assemble the casserole but do not add the topping. Cover and refrigerate. Add the topping just before baking.
