My thoughts:
I apologise for the slightly odd picture, I was a bit under the weather when I made this pie and didn’t take many shots but it was so good, I really wanted to share it with you all. As you might know, I am not a big fan of sweet potatoes for dinner but I am happy to eat them in desserts. I am a bit picky though; I hate when I bite into a sweet potato pie and it is either way too sweet or just tastes like mashed sweet potatoes. Not an issue here. It is creamy but not terribly rich or cheesecake-y and sweet potato-y without being heavy. The perfect midwinter dessert.
Oh wow this sounds amazing, especially with the potato chip crust below. Very inventive, I'll have to try it next time a pie is demanded of me!
This is a very interesting idea; and it does look really good, even though you didn't manage to take many photos, but this one is more than enough 😉
Hope you're up to the weather really soon too =)
Wow, what a unique and delicious-sounding pie!
This is it! I have this 18 inch and 10lb. squash I bought from this tiny old woman at the market here in Mexico where I live and I haven't had a clue what to do with it until now! I really only bought it from her, because it was so sad watching her struggling to lug it around, while she begged for a buyer. I'm glad I did. It is large enough to make at least 5 of these pies.
