In food processor, process the potatoes slightly; add remaining ingredients (except crème fraîche) and process until smooth. (If processor is small, work in batches.)
- Step 3
Place mixture in greased baking dish and refrigerate for 2 or 3 days or freeze for longer.

To serve, bring to room temperature and bake in 350-degree preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Dot with creme fraiche, if desired.

I made this for Thanksgiving with no changes. The flavor is wonderful and it was loved by all, but I would reduce the amount of cardamom to 1 tsp. the next time I make it. I couldn't find creme fraiche, so I served it with sour cream thinned with a little cream. Delicious!
This is also perfectly delicious without any maple syrup or sour cream - the grated lime zest is genius to bring bright note and cut the sweetness of the potato. I think cardamom is fine as is, I even added more, but taste to your liking. I also mistook my jar of allspice for cloves to no ill effect:) I will top with candied pecans tomorrow and bake after bird comes out - made this last year without pecans exactly per recipe and it was a big hit! A nice change from cloying sweet potato dishes.

Has anyone made it the day before serving, not waiting the 2-3 days?
Absolutely amazing!! Low added sugar and a nice spice finish ensure that this dessert is a winner for everyone at the table. I made this for my partner recently (a sweet potato fanatic), and they were delighted by the mix of spices! My only tweak for next time might be for a dash of nutmeg, but we'll see! Maybe just more cloves...
