This recipe is delicious!! I have made sweet potato souffle many many times, and I must say that this recipe will not disappoint. It is better than any I've ever tasted! This one will definately be on my table at Thanksgiving or any night of the week for that matter.

I was looking for a sweet potato dish to replace my old sweet potatos that I serve every year. I did a trial run with this recipe a couple of weeks ago and I wont ever go back! For the last 15 years my kids have refused to eat any kind of sweet potato; not even candied yams. After a little coaxing I got them to try this and THEY LOVED IT!!! I plan on cutting back just a little on the sugar, because it is very sweet, and adding a little cinnamon next time.
