Preheat oven to 375 degrees F . Butter or spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Place cooked sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Mash sweet potatoes using a handheld electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter, evaporated milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, marshmallows, and coconut.
Pour sweet potato mixture into the prepared pan and place in preheated oven.
Meanwhile, make the topping. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, pecans and remaining 1/2 cup butter. Set aside.
Bake 70-90 minutes or until casserole is set in the middle.
Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
