I’m not sure what the person did he said this is Greg Grady, but it definitely is not. Just make sure you do a very good job of pulling sweet potatoes so they’re very soft, and use bananas that are over ripe. Half the sugar (1 tablespoon instead of two) and you’ll have a lovely dessert
I wouldn't keep it in the office for too long again and I will definitely skip the brown sugar since it was already very sweet with the bananas. It ended up being a sort of sweet potato bars and still nice, but not a custard for sure.
I found the texture a little gritty, made it for my toddler and she didn’t love it either.
