Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, melt the butter (4 tablespoons). Spread a little bit of the melted butter on the bottom and sides of a baking dish, roughly 8" x 10" (or up to 9x13).
- Steam the cubed sweet potatoes until tender in a steamer basket in a large pot with 1-2" of water (for about 20 minutes).
- While the potatoes are cooking, add the heavy cream (1/4 cup), 2 eggs, maple syrup (1/4 cup), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), and kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) to the bowl with the melted butter. Whisk together until smooth.
- To make the streusel topping, mix together the melted butter (4 tablespoons), flour (1/2 cup), brown sugar (1/4 cup), and ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon) until a smooth, dough-like consistency forms (it will be quite thick). Add the sliced almonds (1 cup) and combine well- it's easiest to use your hands to do this, crumbling up the mixture as you go.
- Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the large bowl with the egg mixture and mash with a potato masher until relatively smooth and well combined with the other ingredients (leave a few chunks). Spread in prepared baking dish. Spread the streusel mixture evenly on top of the sweet potato mixture.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until mixture is almost set in the middle and golden brown across the top. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes
- To make ahead of time, spread the sweet potato mixture in prepared baking dish and cover. Mix the streusel topping and store separately in your fridge. Store for up to 3 days. Just before baking, sprinkle the topping on and bake as directed. It may need a few more minutes, since you're starting out cold.
- Make ahead on Thanksgiving morning: because this casserole can be served at room temperature, you can treat it kind of like a pie. Bake it the morning of Thanksgiving and keep it on your counter for a few hours until you're ready to serve- no need to reheat.
- Instead of sliced almonds, you can use slivered or chopped almonds, or another nut such as chopped pecans or walnuts. For a nut-free version, use sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds.
- You can cook the sweet potatoes any way you like- bake them and scoop out the flesh, use an instant pot, microwave them, or boil them. As long as you have cooked sweet potatoes, you're good to go!
- If you are using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon more kosher salt to both the filling and the topping.
- Time saving tip: The thinner the casserole, the less time it will take to cook, so if you are using a 9x13 pan it may only take 25 minutes.
