    I also cut down the sugar to 2 1/2 teaspoon (or really depend on how sweet you like. I peel the yam/sweet potatoes and cut them in cubes then soak in a cup of orange juice for 15 mins then put the yam in the baking sheet to bake (put the juice aside til soft half way I turn the yam and pur some of the juice on top of the yam, just enough to wet them and just let it bake til totally soft. No need to put sugar to the coconut since itself is already sweet but next time I think will be nicer to toast the coconut a little before roll on the yam ball.

    Here's my only problem... I made my yam a day before and let it rest to room temp..... Since is still alittle cold, i cook under 275F for 15 mins.....After it bake for 15mins, it already crack open and the marshmallow disappear end up kinda sweet too!

    So, how can I cook it and the marshmallow still gooorey but not disappear? Can anyone help pls!

    I thought it was a lot of work for something that i felt was just OK. Don't plan on making this dish again.

    I cut down on the sugar and these were such a hit. I baked each one on top of a pineapple ring & they looked and tasted so good. these are the new thanksgiving tradition for my family.

    Surprise marshmellow in the middle was, well a sweet surprise.

    Fun alternative to the old-school pile of potatoes. I was worried about the possible explosion so I tested one in the oven to get the test time down..you can tell when they are about to explode because you will see a bit of a crack opening. For my oven, it was 13 minutes.

    Couple of tips:
    Wet hands for each ball roll.

    Take handful of coconut mixture and press into balls..rolling does not work well or give enough coverage

    We use Vietnamese Cinnamon (can find in spice stores. You will notice it is more sweet aromatic. I use for all cooking and we find it disperses more fully throughout your baked goods, giving them cinnamon-through-and-through flavor

    You could serve for dessert--they are fun and sweet

    These were just ok. Way too sweet for me. I've had better sweet potato dishes. Will not make again.

    Great Recipe and the Biggest Hit for Thanksgiving. It was beyond tasty and the coconut gives it a nice surprise. I baked the sweet potatoes the night before which made the prep so much easier. Love Paula!
