🥧 Creamy Sweet Potato Pie with Condensed Milk
Ingredients
-
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
-
2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 2–3 medium sweet potatoes)
-
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
-
¼ tsp salt
Optional: whipped cream for serving
Instructions
-
Prep sweet potatoes:
-
Peel and boil or bake sweet potatoes until soft. Mash until smooth.

-
Preheat oven:
-
350°F (175°C).
-
-
Make filling:
-
In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

-
Fill the crust:
-
Pour sweet potato mixture into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top.
-
-
Bake:

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust browns too fast, loosely cover edges with foil.

Cool:

Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate 1–2 hours for the best texture.

Serve:

Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Tips & Variations
-
Extra smooth pie: Press sweet potato mash through a fine mesh sieve.
-
Spice it up: Add ½ tsp ginger or a pinch of cloves.
-
Bourbon boost: Add 1–2 tbsp bourbon for a richer flavor.
-
Crust options: Graham cracker crust or buttery shortbread crust works beautifully.
This pie is creamy, sweet, and melts in your mouth — basically fall on a plate 😋
I can also give a no-bake condensed milk sweet potato pie version that’s just as creamy if you want a quicker option.
