I used tofutti sour cream in place of the yogurt to make it kosher parve and serve it with Turkey or Meat. It was just as good! You can find lots of helpful hints on kosher cooking at www.gourmetkoshercooking.com

The praline nut topping was great! Everything else was yucky!! The yogurt gave the pie a weird taste and texture and the lemon over powered the gentle taste of the sweet potato. I'll stick to using evaporated milk and X the lemon. Sorry Alton, this is not a good Southern sweet potato pie recipe at all!!!!!!!!!!

I don't generally comment on recipes but this one warranted a warning. Do not waste your time, money or energy with this pie; it is the worst pie - sweet potato or otherwise - I've ever made or tasted. I should have listened to the other reviewers who suggested I skip the recipe all-together.

The pecan and maple syrup topping is quite good but totally unnecessary if the pie itself were good too. The sweet potato filling came out tasting like a poorly made pumpkin cheesecake - entirely too tart and tangy and without the creaminess of cream cheese to neutralize the acidity of the yogurt.

This is a sweet potato pie only in name. I'm sorry but, aside from Ina Garten's, these Food Network recipes tend to dial-down cooking and taste to mediocre levels.

I've made this one twice and really love it. The second time substituted lemon zest and lemon extract for the spices and came up with a winner, also.

Please remove this recipe, so others won't experience the disappointment I and others before me have. We all have great trust in Alton's work, but his attempt to offer an absolute winner has turn out to be disaster. Though I'm harsh it is needed to forewarn.
