I didn't exactly like this. It didn't have any sugar in it and I could tell. I will not make this recipe again.

I have compared all 4 sweet potatoe pies nutritional value. I am looking for more of a side dish then a dessert. I think this may be the one. Less (no) sugar is best for us older adults watching our weight, but I hear your reviews about the abscence of sugar.....I want to taste the sweet potato not the sugar. Will let you know.....

It's funny reading the reviews -- people either hate or love this recipe. I enjoyed it. I did add 1/3 cup sugar bc I was making it for a birthday party and didn't want to disappoint the sweet tooths. Next time I will make it without sugar, though, bc I prefer things a little less sweet when the flavor is so good otherwise. I also used unsweetened rice milk bc there's a dairy allergy in my family, and that probably added a bit of extra sweetness.

I was looking for a simple recipe for sweet potato pie for my husband and when he tried it he said it wasn't good. I noticed when I was making it that it didn't call for sugar but thought, hey maybe it is sweeter than pumpkin which does call for sugar. I was very disappointed when my efforts failed due to a recipe that lacked a little umph.

Today is Thanksgiving and I made 3 of these pies for my family. My husband and I sampled the pie and we did not like it. We did not care for this recipe.

This is the recipe we were looking for! It's brilliantly simple, plain everyday food. Such a refreshing change from all the recipes whose overuse of sugar masks the nice flavors of the other ingredients. This pie is not sweet enough to qualify as "dessert" for lots of folks, but for me it's quite sweet enough and is a very nice way to eat sweet potatoes. For those wondering how much fresh sweet potato will yield the 2 cups of mash needed for each pie, we found that baking about 1 1/4 pound of potatoes per pie was about right. Bake in a covered dish with the skins on, let them cool, peel and mash. We made a whole wheat pastry flour and lard crust that makes this pie a yummy earthy meal in itself.

Yes I agree I put some sugar in but should have put more and the vanilla might not have hurt it either. It has been a while since I made one and I was a little disappointed that it was not better. Specially when You make it for someone else that really like sweet potato pies.. :-(

i was looking for a pumkin pie recipe and my chef just told me to change the sweet potato to pumkin. i did that, but it was missing sugar. so i added about 1 cup of sugar and about 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. and wha~lah! it was great. you can make the sweet potato by just switching it to sweet potatos.mines was great, but it wasn't sweet potato pie.

I will never use a recipe without reading reviews first, after we made this pie, which is only edible because we put LOTS of whipped cream on it...I realized all reviews said same thing, and I agree, this needs sugar and without it it was TERRIBLE

Either the evaporated milk should be replaced with sweetened condensed milk, or sugar should be added. I used canned sweet potatoes and added about half a cup of sugar. Good that way, especially with a homemade crust. I imagine that sweetened condensed milk with boiled, mashed sweet potatoes would be good too.

When I first tried this, it was awful because it was not sweet. I have since modified it and added 1/2 c. sugar and now it's better. Also, to make it even easier, use one big can (29 oz. I believe) of sweet potatoes. It makes about 2 cups mashed. But otherwise an easy recipe to follow.

This is no doubt the worst recipe I have ever tried. Where is the sugar? And that may not be all that is wrong with it. I wasted my time and material.

I didn't realize it until after it was made that there was no sugar in the recipe! All that work and we didn't like it. Maybe if you load it down with a lot of whipped topping it will be edible!

This recipes was really good. It took only 15 minutes to put together after the Sweet Potato's were cooked. I like the recipe because it was easy and very basic then I added my own personal touch of 1 tsp of lemon extra and and a 1/2 cup of Sugar and the pie came out wonderful.

This recipe has some serious problems. Mashed sweet potatoes - does that mean boil cut-up sweet potatoes or use sweetned from the can. Where's the sugar! I prepared this recipe using actual sweet potatoes and served this pie as my only desert for my Thanksgiving dinner and was disappointed, as well as, my guests. This recipe needs to be removed, corrected or mentioned that it is not an actual dessert before others find error too. Thanks.
