Ok, so I’ve just tasted the dish after 25 minutes in the over (sorry, I can’t wait). And after cooking and after combining the two, it’s not as sweet as I originally tasted. Somehow the process of cooking it has melded the flavors and reduced the syrup and sugars, enhanced the butter and mellowed out the dish. I imagine that it will be even more mellow when it’s served tomorrow. Thanks, Elizabeth! I’m happy because of you.

I think this recipe is spectacular and such an improvement on the marshmallow topping that I’m giving it 5 stars even though I’ve only tasted the filling and the streusel. I’m waiting for it to come out of the oven now. Personally, it’s too sweet for me, but I’m using oven-roasted Japanese yams, which are sweeter than US sweet potatoes, I think. I also doubled the amount of yams and left everything else as noted in the recipe. Anyway, I’ll make this again but I’ll use far less maple syrup and vanilla with the sweet potatoes, and also reduce the sugar in the streusel topping. I also pretty much destroyed the almonds — they were crumbs! I’m going to use them but I know it will change the texture of the dish. So yeah, for a first attempt, nothing exploded, nothing burned, and I’m convinced my buddies will eat it up. Now that I know what not to do, I’ll do it better next time. Too bad I can’t post a photo of it.
