Notes

For best results, ensure the sweet potatoes are thoroughly mashed to achieve a smooth custard texture. You can prepare the custard mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar, and for a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg.
