I made this recipe with canned sweet potatoes (yams) and should have reduced the sugar since the yams were sweetened. So, even though mine came out a bit too sweet, this recipe is definitely going into my "make again" file! Sweet potatoes are plentiful, the recipe is easy, nutritious and delicious!

Wonderful recipe, I had never made a sweet potato pie, this was easy and delicious, plus I learned a great way to prepare sweet potatoes. I substituted the white sugar for brown sugar, next time I will try the evaporated milk. Everyone loved it.

This turned out perfectly! Not being American, I'd only ever read about sweet potato pie and my family were a little dubious at the idea of sweet potato being used in a dessert. But as Thanksgiving rolled around I saw more and more blog posts about different variations of sweet potato pie and I decided that I had to attempt to make one. I made my own pie crust but stuck to the original recipe for everything else and it was a definite hit! I have to make this again as it was surprisingly easy and very tasty.

I made this for my family for the holidays. Nothing but praises all around, I am not a big fan of sweet potatoes myself, but everyone else loved it and it was really easy to make.

Top notch recipe!!!! I have made this MANY times. I add 1 TB lemon juice to heighten the flavor and a TB of flour as a thickener. I also use more sweet potato than the recipe calls for, my family likes it this way...slightly healthier and less sweet. I beat the sweet potatoes very long in my stand mixer to get them super smooth and remove all the strings, which stick to the beaters. This is a great option when you want a delicious and nutritional dessert!!!

I loved this recipe! It is super easy to make and is incredibly delicious! I used frozen tart shells and made them that way. The recipe made 24.

My first pie was made for Thanksgiving and was fantastic. My second pie was made for Christmas and my husband said it was probably the best pie he has ever had! It was better the second time around because we made the crust from scratch. This is a keeper and really deserves 5 stars but I don't rate anything 5 stars. Thanks Cougaar for a wonderfully yummy recipe!
