    I'm eating it right now. I left out the brown sugar and added one little packet of stevia and 3/4c. of soy milk and it was perfect. I used egg white only . I added half the raisins and a little cinnamon on top. It is delicious. - 2/18/09

    I made this again without white sugar or salt and used egg whites instead of yolks. I cut the milk to 3/4 cup. It cut the cals by almost 1/2 and the fat down to 0.3 g. It tasted just as wonderful!!! YUMMY! I don't feel so guilty eating two servings! - 1/25/08

    I am a sweetpotato enthusiast & enjoy custard. This makes a great breakfast or snack. I ve made it w/out banana, substituted milk for the evaporated, used whole eggs, & sugar substitute. Tastes great everytime! Also works well in microwave. Did you know you can microwave sweet potatoes? Saves time. - 3/17/07

    This was absolutely delicious. Very nutritious as well. Eggwhites and less sugar would lower the calories. Actually, I bet you could cut the sugar in half or eliminate it altogether. It's just on the edge of being too sweet, and both the bananas and sweet potato have enough sugar on their own. - 11/12/07

    My grandkids love it more than their mom's SP & Marshmellows. Instead of Brown sugar I used 1 Tbsp Bakeing Splenda, 1 Tbsp of Black Strap Molasses, & 1 tsp of Knox gelatin. - 4/23/09

    I made this tonight in a muffin pan without the toppings (just forgot...duh). My 3 year old son thought it was cake and loved it. And he doesn't even eat vegetables, ever! Will make this again soon and might try to mix some broccoli in with it... - 2/5/09

    Love sweet potatoes AND pumpkin both. Used 1/2 the sugar and no salt. Added a dash of nutmeg and mixed the spices in potato mixture--not on top; sprinkled finely chopped pecans and craisins on top. Added dash of nutmeg and cloves to pumpkin mixture with walnuts on top. Either way, it's delicious. - 7/6/10

    Tried w/ egg substitute and a little less 2% milk (forgot to buy evap. :) It has potential, but seemed bland to me. Next time, I think I'll add more cinnamon and mix it in directly. It was good reheated with extra cinnamon and a little bit of smart balance or neufatchel(?) cheese mixed in. - 6/21/10

    This was quite good. I goofed getting the sweet potato ready for inclusion which disrupted the texture, so I think it is actually better than it turned out for me. I used two whole eggs and 1 cup skim milk. It was a little bland, so another time I would add spice to the sweet potato-banana portion. - 12/20/09

    I am a huge sweet potato lover...but this was just not hitting the right notes for me. I think if the banana were left out it might be better. - 8/28/09

    This is great. I used Craisins because I had no raisins on hand. It was very good both hot and cold. I will make it often. I loved the banana taste in the recipe. - 3/25/09

    I made this last night. No one in my family could get past the first bite. The combo of banana and sweet potato didn't go together, in my opinion. We love sweet potato and I was very disappointed it didn't turn out. - 6/12/09

    I tried this, great tasting. The first time I ate it, it was warm out of the oven. Now it's chilled- should I warm it up or eat it chilled? What do you all like? - 6/2/10
