I made this for Easter dinner and it was a hit - everyone loved it! I used half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but followed everything else.

This was a hit at a family Easter dinner. I left out the cloves and nutmeg and half the cinnamon to avoid a Thanksgiving/Christmas taste, but I plan to make as written for Thanksgiving next year.

I noticed that some people complained of a mashed potatoes texture instead of a fluffy look and feel. if you whip the mixture, like you are trying to make a whipped cream it helps a lot! I got raving reviews for this dish and have decided it's a family staple recipe. I also topped it with crushed grahm crackers, brown sugar mixed with melted butter since there are family menbers that don't like nuts in their food. another thing is that i used actual sweet potatoes instead of Yams. which made it not too sweet. love love love this dish!

Excellent....I used brown sugar instead of the white and decreased it to just 1/3c which made this plenty sweet. Also used 4 eggs instead of 5, fat free half and half instead of heavy cream, omitted the cloves and upped the cinnamon to a full tsp. Wonderful flavor and nice and creamy. Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for...something w/o the sugar and nut topping. Thanks!

Made this for Thanksgiving today and it was a HUGE hit! Highly recommend this recipe, it's just like my southern grandma used to make. I used brown sugar instead of white and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup. I also whipped the eggs before adding them, made it very fluffy. It took about an hour total in my oven at 350 the whole time. Before putting it in the oven I sprinkled some brown sugar on top, and after 50 minutes I took it out and put mini marshmallows on top, then put it back in for 10 minutes. Next time I'll probably add some pecans to the topping too. :)

This is the first time I've hosted Thanksgiving at my house and I decided to skip the candied yams and make this instead. My whole family is so glad that I did! Everyone had seconds and thirds of this recipe, even people who normally don't like sweet potatoes loved this. It tastes almost like a pumpkin pie. Some changes I made after reading previous reviews: I used only half the sugar called for in the recipe and used both brown and white sugar. I cooked mine in a convection oven and still had to increase the cooking time by 20 minutes. I used an overflowing cup of half-and-half because I wanted mine a little creamier and smoother and it came out wonderfully. My family has since put me in charge of this dish for every holiday now!

With all the eggs and the name, I expected this to rise up like a souffle does, but it didn't at all. Was still very good though. Used milk instead of cream and Splenda instead of sugar, but I don't think you could have told the difference, especially with 1/2 cup butter in the mix. Was very good, spices were well balanced. Will probably make again.

Made this recipe at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Got many compliments from family members and friends. Many compliments came from people who claimed they didn't much care for sweet potatos! Really makes a lot so if you are having a small party, cut in half.
