    So many comments by people who have not made or eaten. I don't find that very helpful. - 3/25/09

    I added cinnamon and clove to the batter. I also used currants though if I make this again, I would try cranberries. I didn't find it dry but only baked it for 30 minutes. If you shake the pan and it doesn't jiggle, it's cooked. - 3/29/08

    Very very good. I thought it was going to taste like a pumpkin custard, but it had its own distinctive flavor. - 3/25/09

    I enjoyed this...easy to make and it satisfied my dessert-craving sweet tooth! I used dried currants instead of raisins and added allspice to the mix. It was just *slightly* dry. - 3/27/08

    I eliminated the raisins, added sugar and cinn to custard. I cooked in custard dishes in a hot water bath for about 20-25 min. Creamy and delicious! You would never know this is "diet" food. Yum! - 3/16/07

    This was very good and yes, it CAN be divided among 6. ;D Hubby didn't think it was sweet enough, but once he added some cool whip on top he was content!

    I thought it was DELICIOUS!! ;D - 3/29/09

    Mama always referred to sweet potatoe pie as a custard because of the way the filling was made. I make it the same way and this recipe is similar without the banana and raisins. Adding a 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 1/2 tsp of almond or rum extract would be good here too! - 3/25/09

    Tastes wonderful - hot or cold. Had to bake it for 90 minutes for the centre to set but still delicious nonetheless. Thanks. - 3/31/07

    I have been making this for years, sweet patoe pie without the crust. Instead I use whole eggs skim milk no sugar grade B maple syrup. - 12/30/07

    I made this today and the taste is really good! Just happen to be a little dry, think it was due to the extra mashed sweet potato I added. - 9/29/07

    I made this with a 15 oz. can of Organic Sweet Potato Puree, added 2 eggs, 1/4 tsp. ginger and 1/2tsp. cinnamon to the mixture. Then ladled it into custard cups and microwaved at 50% power for about 23 minutes. Delicious and easy! - 9/21/10

    This is a great alternative for my sweet tooth! I wasn't quite sure how to "eat it properly," and preferred it as a hot dessert as opposed to a cold one. Thanks for the new idea! - 4/21/08

    Both DH and I love sweet potato anything, but this just wasn't good. Strong banana taste and smell, and odd consistency. Definately will not make like this again. Maybe try without bananas again. I like bananas too, but the combo didn't work for us. - 4/5/08

    Distinct banana taste, but otherwise bland. Will try again adding spices and perhaps an oatmeal crumb topping. Served as a main course at lunch. - 3/16/07

    I'm gonna say this anyway: it sounds like it would be delicious. The problem I have with it is, you are taking 1 cup of potato and 1/2 of a banana and DIVIDING IT BETWEEN 6 PEOPLE! Come on now! Sweet potatoes are good for you, and so are bananas! I lost 6 pounds this past week & I had both! - 3/25/09
