Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and mashed
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream
5 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Overall, I thought this pie was okay. The filling was a bit runny, and the crust was a bit too thick. I might try making it again with a different recipe.

This pie was a total disaster. The filling was runny and the crust was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this pie again.
