This Sweet Potato Pie is a delicious, comforting dessert that combines the natural sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes with warm spices. With a buttery pie crust and creamy filling, it’s perfect for any holiday or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 3 medium sweet potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash, peel, and boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. Make the Filling:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes and melted butter. Mix until smooth. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the filling is smooth.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired. Pour the sweet potato filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Check the crust after 30 minutes and cover the edges with foil if they’re browning too quickly.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt to the filling.
  • Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
