You're welcome! I've never been fond of sweets..as children, my cousin
would ask for a piece of cake and I would ask for a piece of
cheese...However I do enjoy pies. I came across this recipe about 17 years
ago and I remember that the first time I made it, my family thought I was
nuts...They loved it!..I've been making it ever since.
You really will enjoy this one.

It will make a lovely change, so I'm giving it a whirl for supper tomorrow night. Will let you know the outcome.

Adriana - 05 Dec 2003 00:57 GMT
Make sure you bake it early enough in the day, so that it's cool for
dessert. You shouldn't try to cut this one while it's still warm.

Hi Adriana,
This sounds unusual, but a fun one to try. Is it a dessert or main dish? With the sugar and cream, sounds like dessert.

Thank you Grandma. I came across this one about 17 years ago and have been
making it ever since. It has a very delicate flavor. If you decide to try
it; make sure it is completely cool before slicing otherwise it will fall
apart on you.
Hugs and smiles to you Grandma

If this tastes as good as sweet potatoe pie, then I'm definitely gonna try it :)
Saving the recipe.

I think you will enjoy it very much. The flavour is more delicate than that
of the sweet potato pie (I make that one as well).
Just be sure it's completely cool before you try to slice it.
