PERFECTION! I made this for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. I was never big on sweet potatoes, but I tried this recipe for the sake of my family. I was glad I did, now it is a favorite of my own! In fact, we were eating the leftover portions for breakfast this morning! I used eggnog in place of the cream which was great, and used pure cane sugar instead of white sugar. I have also prepared it using left over candied yams. This will be a regular in my house! Thanks so much!

The four stars are mainly for the topping because that was excellent but otherwise the flavor was a little lacking and I had to add a little cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves to make it taste better.

This is an excellent recipe though I had to make a few changes to cater to my families dietary restrictions. I added apple juice instead of cream and Splenda instead of the sugar. I also added a little sugar free maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, .5 tsp nutmeg and .25 tsp clove. It gave it just the right spice. Very yummy!!

I made these for Thanksgiving. Those who like sweet potatoes loved these...said they were the best they've had. Personally, I've come to the conclusion that I really do not like them in the first place.

This was a hit at Thanksgiving. I have a large family so I double the recipe with the following changes - did not double vanilla, added 2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp nutmeg for more flavoring. Used condensed milk instead of heavy cream. Also added a lot more flour to topping mixture. Wanted it like apple pie crumb topping. Everybody loved it and wanted the recipe.

OMG!!!! I could so easily live on this stuff it totally rocks and it is sooo easy to make! Is it legal for food this good to be so easy? The sweetpotato part has a flavor that makes one think of custard and light delicate texture that is totally decptive in that this dish is deliciously rich. My mom does not care for sweet potato casseroles because of the sweet topping. But I think this would taste great with just say the nuts on top. The sweet potato part is just that good. And for convenience the potatos can be boiled and mashed way in advance and kept in the fridge or freezer and the same goes for the topping. So then the day you need it you can quickly whip up the sweetpotato custard and add your topping. Easy Breezy on the day of serving. I also found that using the conversion feature on this site worked successfully in allowing me to make a much smaller portion (2 servings) which is important as I knew I would be the only one eating them at our small family gathering. I think I might start keeping the fixings for this in my fridge so that I can make it as a treat for myself.

i made this for thanksgiving and everyone loved it! my husband, who doesn't like yams/sweet potatoes, went back for seconds and thirds. i've made this twice, with fresh yams and canned yams. with the canned yams i drained the liquid and cut the sugar in half. both times i added marshmallows. i put the regular sized marshmallows on top (evenly spaced) about 10 minutes before i have to take the yams out of the oven. the marshmallows puffed up and browned nicely, which makes for a pretty presentation.
