The flavor was good, but found that there was too much cream cheese, leaving the result rather soupy. I'll try it again with about 1/3-1/2 the amount of cream cheese and see how that turns out.

This recipe is a great change from the "normal" sweet potatoes. I added a bit of brown sugar to the cream cheese mixture, about 3 or 4 Tablespoons. It was good without it but we have a bit of a sweet tooth. Fresh nutmeg was a must along with marshmallows. Thanks for sharing.
