I used pecans instead of walnuts. This seriously is the best sweet potato recipe ever! I've made several others and no one raved like they did with this one. My mother was an excellent cook, and at Thanksgiving dinner my sister said that my sweet potatoes were even better than Mom's. Now that's a compliment!

This was one of the best if not the best Sweet Potato dish I've ever made/tasted. One of my guests kept going uhmmm, uhmmm, yummm the whole time. I added about 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (made my own from this site) and I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup, but those were the only changes I made. I wasn't sure how much 3 cups would amount to in and used 5 yams. It was perfect. Thank you Ricki.

After not being able to find her usual sweet potato bake recipe for Thanksgiving this year my mom asked me to look for one. Honestly, at first the coconut and walnuts made us both a little concerned but we followed the directions and doubled the recipe... It turned out GREAT! Everyone loved it at Thanksgiving! This is a definate keeper!

I made this for Thanksgiving with my family and got a ton of compliments on it. I made it exactly as stated but it did end up making more topping then the casserole really needed. I just used what I needed and tossed out the rest but I'd probably reduce the amounts by 1/3 or so. Good recipe, but very sweet.

I made this for Thanksgiving and I thought it turned out amazing. I made it the night before and then reheated it the day of.I doubled the recipe and it was wonderful!

I made this recipe today and it was a hit. I always buy my canned sweet potatoes but now I will always make this recipe. I used a variation of another souffle recipe and added the eggs yolks to the mix. Used the mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff and folded them onto the batter and baked in a greased pan. I cut down on the sugar and added marshmallows at the end and baked for few minutes. Great recipe. Thanks!

I did make this our dessert! It tasted like a pie without a crust. Everyone is right in saying the topping is GREAT. I made it according to the recipe but for a dessert will add spices next time.

Didn't like it at all. I tasted more like a dessert than a side dish. I always love sweet potato but perhaps this recipe used too much sugar!
