Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal 2 cups milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup light-brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup honey 4 large eggs 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes until soft when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool. Peel, and discard skins.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/27/2011   This recipe is the best thing to ever happen to a sweet potato. Light, creamy, just sweet enough to go well with savoury food and perfectly spiced. The texture is an luxurious cross between mousse and souffle. It was simple to make and absolutely delicious.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2011   DELICIOUS. Easy to prepare, just allow enough time in your oven for it to cook thoroughly if you're making this for a holiday. Easily could be a dessert, but it's not too sweet as a side dish. This will definitely become a tradition for me at Thanksgiving!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/24/2008   This recipe has become a family tradition. It is requested every year!!! We love it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/24/2008   Are these the sweet potatoes that the grocery store is calling "yams"? I got confused when I went shopping. I think the grocery store had things labeled wrong. Just want to make sure I'm using the right ingredients.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/22/2008   I've made this a couple of times. It's wonderful. I like things a little less sweet, so I substituted maple syrup for the honey and added less cinnamon and sugar.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/16/2008   For the inquiries above, my experience with this recipe: yes you can make a day or two ahead of time. In fact I split the amount to bake some that day and then refrigerated the other half of the 'batter' to be baked a couple days later. Serve with a big serving spoon. I gilded this lily by adding mini-marshmallows (which deserve our respect) after reheating it and placing under the broiler until the marshmallows were golden brown.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/23/2007   We made this for Thanksgiving and it was delicious. It will definitely be on the menu again next year!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/23/2007   Ok, for Thanksgiving, I made it the night ahead and kept it in the fridge and took it out for about a half hour the next morning, and then cooked as directed. It came out great! SO, to answer all the questions, yes you can prepare it at least a day ahead and then bake it the next day.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/18/2007   We have made this for many years for our Thanksgiving. It is one of our favorite Holiday side dishes and a favorite way to eat sweet potatoes. Even though it is called bread, it is really more like the consistency of the filling of pumpkin pie...just a little sturdier. We normally eat it hot but it is tasty cold too. I have taken it to my family's and made it ahead of time (earlier the day we travel and didn't refrigerate)and then just rewarmed. It has always gotten rave reviews from our extended family as well.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/16/2007   I just made this last night and my family thought it tasted more like dessert instead of a side dish. I took their advice family knows best and i toped it with some whip cream(choc) seemed to taste the best but the regular kind was good as well. I stored it outside on the counter covered with a lid in the fridge it got too cold. I also tried it as a side dish with some turkey breast on the side and it was pretty good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/16/2007   I have the same Q about making ahead of time. Could you please let me know? Thanks.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/16/2007   how do you serve it? slice? spoon? plain? with butter?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/15/2007   I want to know if this can be made ahead of time if so how far ahead. Also is this meant to be eaten hot out of oven or can it be served room tempature or cold??  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/14/2007   Is it possible to prepare this ahead of time to take to someone else's home, maybe even the night before? Would you prepare the batter and refrigerate to bake the next day, or would you bake and reheat?
