in large mixing bowl, mash sweet potatoes. add 1 1/2 cups melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. beat until smooth. pour into prepared casserole dish.

in medium bowl, mix coconut, brown sugar, remaining melted butter, pecans and flour to make topping. spread over sweet potatoes and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until topping is brown. makes 12 servings.

I'd like to try this with Splenda as both of my brothers are diabetic. Suggestions for how much white and brown Splenda to use?

when using the brown sugar splenda use half of what the recipe calls for, say 1 cup = 1/2 cup, etc...

Darlene, Thanks. Would I use 1/2 the amount of white sugar also?

no, splenda measures the same as sugar, only the brown sugar you cut in half.....

Thanks. I prefer the chunks of yams or sweet potatoes to the mashed so think I'll give this one a try.

Judy....yumo....this sounds good and easy too.

Thanks sweetie.....connie d

hey let me know if you tried this one and how they liked it....yumo lol

and you are welcome!!

hugs

Me too! Thanks for asking Connie!
