Mash together the following ingredients:


1.5 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes. (I use leftover baked sweet
potatoes that have had the peels removed. You could boil also.)

1.5 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon (Or less. It doesn't have to taste strongly of cinnamon.)

1.5 tsp. fresh ginger (Or dried. But fresh is worth it.)

1.25 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 cup evaporated milk (Not condensed. Cream would substitute.)

1.5 cup flaked coconut (Not the sweetened kind. Go to the health
food store.)


Bake at 400 degrees in an unbaked 9" pie shell for about 35 minutes or
until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.


Garnish with whipped cream and more flaked coconut.
