Very good, especially if you like coconut. Nice light texture. Will make again.

The pie was not sweet enough. It needed more flavoring. I like nutmeg and vanilla flavor in sweet potato pie.

Very good and easy to make! Tastes very similar to a pumpkin pie but even better. The coconut sprinkled on top of the cool whip really adds a nice touch. It's delicious and pretty to look at too. I would definitely make it again and would recommend it to friends.

I've made this recipe twice, it's so easy to make and oh so good. Family and friends agree and requested the recipe. This is a keeper, the best sweet potato pie I've ever tasted.

since we have allergies to coconut , i omitted that and added more sweet potatos to the recipe. even though it takes longer, the yams or sweet potatos have a much more dense flavor when they are baked first, instead of boiled before peeling. the flesh is much firmer also.

This has to be the best sweet potatoe pie I have ever eaten. My husband agrees and my oldest son said he loves sweet potatoe pie now more than ever.
