This pie was amazing, I made it for the first time and I really don't like sweet potato but I made this for my dad and I tasted it and it was amazing. I would defintely make this every year for Thanksgiving.

Delicious! New favorite and requested by everyone for me to make again. Not hard to make, just takes time to cook and sit cooling.

I have made this pie three times for the holidays in the last two years. There are never any leftovers. I do add a couple more pinches of the spices than what is called for in the recipe, because I find that it is a little too bland if I do not.

I made this recipe for a women of color literature class. My group final was on African American culture and we chose to make food to go with our presentation. This pie was a hit! Everyone loved it! I am making it this Thanksgiving since my family didn't get the expected leftovers!

Instead of the marshmallows I sprinkled pecan pieces making it less sweet so that diabetics could indulge.

This pie is now a holiday favorite. It has replaced the sweet potatoe casserole. It was really creamy, really good. I think the key is to use fresh sweet potatoes and not from a can. Also, make sure you put the Marshmallows at the very end, just so they get golden, then refrigerate immediately(unless you're serving right away), so the marshmallows can set. I add pecan pieces and tangerine slices cut in quarters on top.

We thought it was a little too dry.
