Sweet Potato Layered Dessert

This dessert was made out of desperation. I had sweet potatoes coming out of my ears! So I cooked them, mashed them and began experimenting. I took it to the coop across the street (along with the Dragon’s Breath Chili (See that recipe) and they loved it. This makes 12 Here is the result.
4 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes.
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
36 gingersnaps crushed (reserve 1/4 cup)
1 cup Whipping cream
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Pour milk into mashed sweet potatoes while still hot. Stir well add pumpkin pie spice. Stir well. Cook until bubbly stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Crush gingersnaps (reserve 1/4 cp) and divide into individual small bowls (1/2 cup size). Press slightly so it rides up sides of bowl and has indentation. Ladle still warm mixture into bowls and set aside to cool.
In cold bowl place whipping cream vanilla, and spice mixture. Beat until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
When ready to serve top bowls with whipped cream and remaining gingersnap crumbs.
