This recipe is awesome. I have been making it for the past six years and every year somebody always asks me for the recipe. My only alteration is I use premade grahm cracker pie crust

I have never liked sweet potatoes. But I was bound and determined to find a way to fix them so that my kids would at least try them. This is the recipe for that! Now, I like sweet potatoes too! But they have to be in pie form! I did use a premade crust, because I cannot make a graham cracker crust that holds together, but it was the filling that was the star at Thanksgiving dinner.

I made this today for a trial run for Thanksgiving. It was good, but I agree with some of the others, it could use a little more sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. Im going to make another one this weekend, with some tweaks. we'll see if it's better, or if I ruin a great recipe!

Not too bad. I left off the marshmallows since I made it the night before our church lunch. Just before I served it I spread some sweetened sour cream on the top. The crust was not my favorite part and I will change that next time to a regular pie crust. Again, I made the filling in my food processor to get a smooth texture. I went to three stores to find light cream but no luck so I used half and half and it turned out really rich. My girls decided though that it was more like Sweet Potato Cheesecake than pie. Was it a hit at church? Well, about 100 people ate and my pie was the first desert gone and I shared the recipe with almost all of the ladies there. So yeah, it was good.

I made this for Thanksgiving and my family is crazy over it. The only reason I didn't give it a five is because it makes way too much filling. Even my husband, who won't come within ten feet of cream cheese loved it. I'll be making it again for Christmas, but I'll use a pre-made graham cracker crust to save time.

I am a brand new "cook" if you will at age 36, and decided to try this recipe out on Thanksgiving. I live in AZ but was born & bred in Philly, so I saw the use of Philly Cream Cheese & decided to give this a try. A+ for sure, 5 stars, it was gone in about 5 minutes, that I had to go to the store on black friday to buy more to make for my husband!

I increased the sugar to 3/4 c because I'm not sure that this dish was intended to be a dessert. I added 1 t cinnamon and 2T whisky. 1.5 T vanilla was enough. I put it through my food processor to make it smoother. Crust: I needed a few T more butter for the crust. I added 1/2 c finely chopped pecans to the crust. I wasn't sure it if was supposed to go up the sides but I did get it up the sides about an inch. When the pie was done, I added the marshmallows and put the broiler on to very lightly brown the marshmallows, then chilled it. I called it sweet potato cheesecake. Even the kids liked it (the marshmallows helped).

I haven't yet made the recipe, but I've copied it it and printed it to take to my daughter's for our Christmas festivities! To tell the truth I've even copied the reviews! I enjoyed them as much as the recipe! Bravo Jeremy...you have a great family!

This was my first attempt at a sweet potato pie - eating it or making it, and it was worth the effort! Very good. It did make enough for 2 pies, so I froze half of the batter for anther time.

This recipe absolutely deserves more than 5 stars! I wish I could vote for more than 10 stars, this recipe is out of this world and not because I am a food lover but because this sweet potato pie recipe kills the one I thought I was making that everyone loved. The graham cracker and marshmallows are definitely an added treat. After I made this one year ago, it has been requested every month and we will be big as cows if I fulfill every request. This is my boyfriend's favorite dessert and I thank you for sharing. WE LOVE IT!!!! It is devine!!!!!!
