I first made this recipe more than 15 years ago and I am still required to make it for ALL family gatherings. Need I say more. I always have to make two souffles. One to take and one to leave at home. I don't think I have ever made less than 3 times the recipe amount. It is so good my family places it with deserts. Everyone prefers it to sweet potato pie. Try it you will love it.
