  • Notes:

    For diabetic, other special diet needs, modify: white sugar substitute such as Great Value Endalzante: equal amount brown sugar: use Splenda sugar blend, needs half the amount (1/4 cup) can use liquid egg white in place of whole egg but whole eggs provide all of the essential amino acids necessary for building proteins in the body. Whole Milk: substitute rice milk or lowfat, skim or 2%, according to dietary need Do NOT use canned sweet potato unless you can find one with out sugar/corn syrup. I prefer fresh sweet potato anyway. When I make the next batch I will use English walnuts instead of pecans as well as Walnut oil. This is delicious with non-fat cream cheese and best served warm too.
