    Absolutely delicious!! I made it on a whim for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! I used canned sweet potatoes and bourbon for two of the ingredients. After baking it, I really didn't think it needed the meringue and just used whipped cream.. Also the baking time can be up to double what is called for in the recipe. But this is the best pie I have made in a long time!

    Completely LOVED this recipe. I ended up having to bake it for over an hour as well and skipped the meringue. I did a simple whipped cream instead which paired nicely with the texture. I did, however, double the bourbon, but instead of using it in the pie, I just drank it while baking...I passed out before actually tasting it, but I'm assuming it was fantastic.

    Good recipe. I used nutmeg instead of ginger and I added a 1/2 cup of brown sugar and more cinnamon. My family loved the pie.

    well I was so pleased to see how simple this is, but I think there is a typo , the cook time at the top says 1 hr 55 min, and then in the recipe it says put batter in crust and bake 35 to 45 min,, it did take over an hour at 350,,,,

    I've always wanted to make a Sweet Potato Pie. I read most of the reviews before I made it. Last night I did my first test of this recipe and it rocked! I used more brown sugar & only a bit of granulated sugar, used unsweetened vanilla soy milk instead of milk, used 1/4 t of fresh grated nutmeg, a little more cinnamon and used a graham cracker crust. Baked the pie on a cookie sheet which made the pie take longer to bake and burned the graham crust a little bit. I fried up 3 slices of BACON to sprinkle on top of the pie. It was delicious! Sweet and salty! I'm gonna make it 2 more times before Thanksgiving. One will be made with all Splenda brown sugar & soy milk and other one with evaporated milk & brown sugar.

    This was the first time I have ever made a sweet potato pie and it came out great! I read a few of the reviews below and used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar. I didn't use ginger but added nutmeg and allspice and didn't do the meringue. Absolutely delicious! My daughter the taste tester loved it! Not too sweet just right. I will be make this for Thanksgiving. Finally I don't have to by a pie for Thanksgiving.

    Super great!! I cant stand pumpkin pie and this is a wonderful alternative. It never seems to fit into a reg pie crust so i use a deep dish pie crust and do not make the meringue. Just some cool whip on top!!
