I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and was delighted to come across this recipe. I didn't think I was going to be able to have a traditional thanksgiving dessert, so I was happy to see this recipe. I followed it exactly and it is very good. I think though the next time I make it I may use less lemon because I like to taste the sweet potato a bit more! -
This pie is excellent you can't tell it is made with Splenda instead of sugar. I used this recipe for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! -
So simple with a terrific taste. The little touch of lemon is a delight. Perfect for a diabetic looking for something sweet.

I just made this and it's delicious for a diabetic pie. I made it using 1/2 c unsalted butter and couldn't taste the difference. The lemon adds a nice touch. Great recipe. I'll be using this one again. -
Very good recipe. Simple and delicious.
