I had used my mom's sweet potato recipe for years claiming it to be the best. I've, now, concluded this recipe near perfection. Oops, did I just reveal my disloyalty to the entire world wide web? Made for A-NZ #47.

This was my first time ever making sweet potato pie and I thought it was wonderful. We had an early Christmas celebration with some relatives tonight and everyone loved it. I loved the texture and flavor of this pie. I'm not a big sweet potato fan, but this pie makes me more of one! Thanks for sharing.

This is fantastic good. I adapted the filling for a diabetic and it's a very adaptable and forgiving recipe. I made just the filling and in a 1/2 pie amount using 1/8 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar and regular Splenda for the white sugar, 1/4 cup of EggBeaters. I used fat free evaporated milk for the whipping cream and low fat sour cream with 1/2 to 3/4 tsp of rum extract (I didn't measure that exactly). I baked it it @ 350 for about 45 mins and YUMMM. You have a wonderful creation BK. I wanted to take pix for you but my neighbors were here and as they are both diabetic also ....well, I had to share *sigh*. I'll make this again and be sure to take a pic or 3. I might add that the neighbors left with my adapted recipe.

Great! Great! Great! This is such a great recipe. I am now addicted to Sweet Potato Pie! I make this up as two pies. I use two 9" disposable tin pie plates. Then I can give one away and not eat it all myself! I double the pastry recipe but leave the filling the same. It works out beautifully.
