Rehydrate your coconut. Soak in hot water for 15 - 20 minutes to rehydrate, then squeeze out all the water.
Bring a cup of water to a boil in a small pot on medium high heat. Add in the allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla and let boil. Once this is done, pour the spice mixture into the sweet potato mixture along with the coconut milk and melted butter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for one hour in the preheated oven. Remove from oven after one hour of baking time, add the topping, and then continue to cook for 15 more minutes.
