  1. Tasted good and I loved the idea, but never did set up enough to "form into balls" I tried and the mess just isn't worth it. Next time we will just make plain old sweet potatoes.
     
  2. I add a tablespoon of heavy cream & roll them in coconut instead of gingersnap cookie crumbs.
     
  3. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe Mercy. My attempt looked like flattened cookies after baking but tasted amazing just like sweet potatoe pie. I will certainly make these again.
     
  4. These were really good! It didn't hold together well enough for me after chilling so I put it in the freezer for a while. Also, we like it a little sweeter so I rolled some in gingersnap/brown sugar mix! YUM! Thanks for a great recipe!
