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

     wonderful..and for those who needed to know portion size...1/2 cup per person...thank you for this one.. - 4/17/09
  • SERENITYSEL
     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 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

     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

     VERY,VERY YUMMY. MY GRANDKIDS LOVED IT.
    I USED FAT FREE EVAPORATED MILK AND 1 WHOLE EGG,
    PLUS A DASH OF NUTMEG. THANKS FOR SHARING.

     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

     I made it with vainilla/walnuts. Left out banana/raisins/cinnamon.-
    Delicious! - 3/25/09
  • HJ-PIX
     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

     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
  • CHAUNISEY
     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
  • LYDIA_INCANADA
     This was great. I didn't have raisins so I put pecans with sugar and cinnamon topping. My friends and family loved it. - 1/8/10

  • CD3143770
     Pretty good! I actually liked the sweet potato/banana combo. - 5/2/08
  • AGUA_AGUA
     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
  • PETERKIG
     When you are asked to rate a recipe, rate it! Don't tell people what you added or subtracted, or substituted from the recipe. I am tired of people not following directions. JUST MAKE IT AND RATE THE RECIPE. WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW YOU MADE IT BETTER, WHAT YOU ADDED AND SO ON.... - 10/15/13
  • PANDUNN2
     Great flavor and easy to make. - 9/27/08
  • KTDID13
     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
  • DGOJOAN
     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
  • JENNI232323
     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
  • SIBBY53
     I thought this was different and very NEW! Loved it! - 3/25/08
  • VINYLROSES
     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
  • AZLADY2
     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
  • FIRESTAR69
     Tried this and it is delicious - 3/27/09
  • JERSEYGIRL726
     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
