Sweet Potato Pie Question?

I want to make a sweet potato pie, but the recipe I want to use calls for 1.25 cups of plain yogurt. I do not have yogurt, and can not go get any tomorrow, as I will be baking all day. I just noticed it called for the yogurt.

My question is this. CAN I USE EVAPORATED MILK INSTEAD?

I use evaporated in pumpkin pie, is it ok to use in sweet potato? I have never made a sweet potato pie before.

Update:

I am using Alton Brown's recipe he did on tv a few weeks ago. I did not see the whole episode though because the phone rang and missed the yogurt part.

I will check a few of the other sweet potato pie recipes.

Thank you all for your infomration.

    that substitute can work, but it won't turn out as the recipe intended because the fat content is so different. but i do believe that it will work. I could some kind of mixing and matching between the sweet potato pie recipe and the pumpkin pie recipe. just know that the pie will be a bit heavier.

    Alton Brown Sweet Potato Pie

    I make a sweet potato pie every year and have never used a recipe that called for yogurt. Check on line for a recipe that doesn't call for yogurt. I have always used evaporated milk or heavy cream when making mine. Try the food network or Martha Stewart's web site.

    It will not be the same. It will probably be OK though.
