- Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional).
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
