Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Large bowl
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ready-to-roll pie crust 1, for a 9-inch pie dish
  • 2 large Sweet potatoes baked and peeled
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter melted
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • ½ cup Evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash the baked sweet potatoes until smooth.
  • Add the sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients into a smooth filling.
  • Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, slice the sweet potato pie and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Notes

  • Baking the sweet potatoes — For the best flavor and texture, bake the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. This method intensifies their natural sweetness and ensures a smoother filling without excess moisture.
  • Add a touch of warmth — Enhance the cozy flavors of the sweet potato pie by adding a pinch of cloves or ginger along with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Serve with a drizzle — For an extra special touch, drizzle a caramel or maple syrup sauce over each slice of pie before serving. It adds a delightful sweetness that complements the earthy flavors of the sweet potato.
