I made this for our Christmas dinner dessert and absolutely loved it! I modified the recipe slightly to substitute walnuts for pecans, as we were also having a pecan pie. I reduced the sugar in the topping and the sweet potato mixture (cut each in half, as my sweet potatoes were so, so sweet); I added some allspice and a touch of ground ginger to the topping, as I had used all my crystallized ginger. I also had some orange zest on hand (having made a huge quantity of it to put in the pecan pie) so I added that to the topping. It was so delicious!! Thank you for posting this.

Oh i love the changes you made! sounds scrumptious!! and i love that you used less sugar ... i too can't really take sugar and would like this better without it but all the sweet tooths around me would have a fit :P have a great new year antonia :D

Amreen, this is so beautiful. I am not a bake-o-phobe (having made easily over a hundred pies as an adult), but I so enjoy pie-like desserts with no crust. Unless the crust is really special enough to be the focus of one's attention, such as in a tarte tatin, why bother? (Maybe it's easier to serve at a picnic . . . . not an issue here, right now!) I'm going to make this when the boys come home from the East Coast next week. Pecans and ginger are favorite ingredients around here. Thanks for posting this.

Can't wait to hear how it turns out Antonia! I've never been a cust fan myself ... you are so right ... they tend to be just a holder-upper! Im not really a baker but am really trying to get a good cookie recipe down and am having trouble getting the right consistency ... would you mind taking a look at my double chocolate chip and chili recipe and let me know if you have any suggestions ... it worked out perfect once but most of the time the cookies turn out too flat or to dry ... any suggestions would be much apreciated! thanks again!
