Don't remember where I found this, but it appears to be right up your alley:
=============================
Sweet Potato Pecan Pie
1 prepared sweet pie crust, recipe follows
1 pound sweet potatoes, baked until fork tender, peeled and mashed
½ cup pure cane syrup (recommended: Steen's)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
5 large eggs
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1½ cups pecan pieces
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¼ cup light corn syrup
Pinch salt
Chocolate curls
Sweetened whipped cream, accompaniment
Confectioners' sugar, garnish
Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to fit a 10" pie pan. Fit inside the pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, Steen's syrup, spices, 1 egg, and ½ teaspoon of the vanilla and mix well. Pour the filling into the unbaked pastry shell. Spread the pecan pieces evenly over the filling. In another large bowl, beat the remaining 4 eggs. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt and stir to blend. Pour over the pecans and bake until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls, whipped cream, and confectioners' sugar.
Sweet Pie Crust:
8 oz all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 stick (¼ pound) cold butter, cut into ¼" pieces
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons ice water
Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Using your fingers, work in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and work with your fingers until the water is incorporated and the dough comes together. Add more water as needed to make a smooth dough, being careful not to over mix. Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

CREME BRULEE!!!!!!!!!!
Love that stuff! If you can't get the real thing, try Haagen Daaz Ice Cream Creme Brulee flavor. That stuff is addicting, but unfortunately not all stores carry that flavor for some odd reason. It's DElicious, so I don't see why not! Although, I just discovered that Haagen Daaz's website can help you find any flavor you want. I just signed up for this service, we'll see if it actually works!
PS - I don't like chocolate that much either. However, I prefer white chocolate a 100 times more!! :)

I really don't like chocolate that much. Just a little dark chocolate is okay, but other than that, yuck!
My favorite dessert is any kind of sherbert ice cream, especially orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream mix.
