Always a HIT! out of the parents, in-laws, my self, my hubby & our 5 kids only 1 kid likes sweet potatoes. However, when I make this all but 1 eat it. Always requested at holidays, always eaten. FABULOUS RECIPE! And EASY than it looks! Thanks!

This recipe has made me the superstar of Thanksgiving – people wait for this to arrive. Up until I had this dish I had never encountered a sweet potato side that I actually liked! The flaked coconut addition really makes this dish unique and TDF. I do make some modifications to this recipe to cater it more to my own personal tastes – I reduce the white sugar to ¼ c. otherwise this dish is way too overwhelmingly sweet, I also reduce the butter in the soufflé to ¼ c. and the butter in the topping to ¼ c., I add cinnamon and nutmeg to the soufflé mix, and I substitute pecans for walnuts in the topping. Thank you so much Ricki for proving that sweet potatoes can taste good!

Loved it! It should be dessert!

Delicious and easy. I loved the addition of coconut. A great change-up for sweet potatoes.

This was very good, and very sweet. Keep the potatos firm. Otherwise they mush under the topping.

Very nice! Perfect for my Thanksgiving dinner.

This had a very good flavor, I think I may have done something wrong though, it didn't have the texture I thought it would. It was somewhat runny. I did use canned sweet potatoes so that may have been why, but I drained them very well. I will try this again using baked sweet potatoes. Otherwise, fantastic!

AWESOME! Very easy to make and it tasted like dessert. The combination of spices was perfect. I almost left the coconut off because my husband doesn't like coconut, but that is what really makes the dish! He loved it even with the coconut. I will definitely make this again for holidays and special meals. This time I made it for Christmas dinner.

Made this for three different Christmas/New Year's potlucks. People love it. Peeled, cubed and boiled sweet potatoes about 15 minutes, then mashed well with potato masher. Substituted demerara sugar for brown, pecans for walnuts (we are in the South), added cinnamon and nutmeg to mixture as well as topping, used straight evaporated milk for milk. This went immediately into the Recipe Box. This will be our standby. Thanks!

Yum, yum, yum! Everyone loved this! I can't eat walnuts so omitted those and used oats in their place. I also cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves due to other reviewer suggestions.

This was fabulous. I didn't change a thing, except for substituting pecans for the walnuts. I baked 3 sweet potatoes for 1 hour to make the 3 cups. The coconut was an unexpectedly nice addition. I hope to make this again soon.

My family has never like sweet potatoes until they had this version! Thanks for the recipe.

This was a good recipe, although next time I will follow the recipe vs. taking advice from others. I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup as suggested & added more sweet potatoes (5 cups) and it just wasn't as tasty as I think it could've been. Luckily I had made a traditional sweet potato casserole and I ended up mixing the two & it was too die for!! Next time...I will do everything the recipe calls for and add mini marshmellows to the top when it's done to broil for 2 minutes. It will be fabulous

Sooo yummy. Even my husband who isn't fond of sweet potatoes loved it! I baked the sweet potatoes first and scooped out the inside using some of the skin. You won't be disappointed with this recipe!

I microwaved fresh sweet potatoes and used the mixer to "mash" them. This was a wonderful,easy recipe that I will incorporate into every holiday meal!! I used 1/2 brown sugar/ 1/2 white sugar and substitued pecans for walnuts-what a dish!I suggest before adding any spices-try the recipe as is first- and tweak it later according to your tastes.

DELICIOUS! I made this for T-giving dinner yesterday and it was a hit. The coconut topping with its added crunch and flavor was a great twist on the traditional sweet potato dish. To save time, and as suggested in a previous review, I used 3 cans(15 oz each) of canned yams in place of having to cook the sweet potatoes myself. Everything else was as instructed on recipe. Yes, it was sweet like dessert, but IMO, it was not TOO sweet. Will definitely be on my holiday table every year.
