Ingredients

Note: If you prefer a pie, pour the entire filling into a regular 9-inch pie crust and bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes. Or, for a crustless dessert, omit the crust and bake filling directly in muffin tins coated with cooking spray.

1 sweet potato (about 3/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 9-inch refrigerated pie crust (such as Pillsbury), rolled into 24 equal-sized balls
3/4 cup evaporated skim milk
2 medium egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup chopped fresh cranberries (optional)
