    I love this dish, and it's become my signature Thanksgiving dish. I do consistently have a problem though with the milk curdling when I steep the ginger in it. In fact, I buy double the amount of ginger because I almost always have to do this step at least twice. I'd love some insight on why this happens!

      @mellissacro, I was curious so I found this online: "Tthere is a protease in fresh ginger that acts as a curdling agent. When it is exposed to temperatures about 70 degrees it is, however, rapidly destroyed. I’ve also read that the younger and juicier the ginger, the higher the quantity of this protease and the more likely your chai is to curdle. So the trick is, make sure you boil your milk and water first and add the ginger seconds after it comes to the boil. It will then be exposed to temperatures around the 100 degree mark so shouldn’t curdle

    Hello - I have been making this for several years noe, but have decided to make them into individual portions this year. I will be using square 2"x2" pans with removable bottoms. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I should adjust the backing time?

    This looks difficult, but it's actually really really easy and is visually stunning. Definitely more of a dessert than a side dish (which is how I originally intended it). Def a show stopper at any dinner party and fun to eat too. Crunchy outside with gooey warm sweet potato pie inside.

    If I had the phyllo I would be making this right now. I think I will try this filling with my Pecan Sandies cookie crust. I adore the look and presentation of this though and it is on my 'try next' list.

    This is so DELICIOUS, easier than the pumpkin pie I would usually make and looks beautiful...and really impressive!! I made it for Thanksgiving last year and everyone called it"who-needs-pumpkin-pie"! This is my new signature T-day dessert!
