Sweet Potato Pie

🍠 Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

Crust (1 9-inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade)

• 1 pie crust (9-inch)

Filling

• 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)

• ¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• ½ tsp ground nutmeg

• ¼ tsp ground ginger (optional)

• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Prep the sweet potatoes

   • Bake sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 45–50 minutes until tender, or boil until soft.

   • Let cool, peel, and mash until smooth.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.

3. Make the filling

   • In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

   • Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the pie

   • Pour filling into prepared pie crust. Smooth the top.

5. Bake

   • Bake 50–60 minutes, until the center is set (a knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean).

   • If the crust edges brown too fast, cover with foil halfway through baking.

6. Cool and serve

   • Let pie cool completely before slicing.

   • Optional: top with whipped cream.

🌟 Tips

• For extra flavor, roast sweet potatoes instead of boiling.

• Pie can be made a day ahead — flavor improves after chilling.

• Add a splash of bourbon or maple syrup for a richer taste.

If you want, I can give a keto or gluten-free version of sweet potato pie that still tastes just as rich and creamy.
