Description

This Feliciana Sweet Potato Pie offers a comforting twist on traditional pumpkin pie, swapping in the earthy sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes for a richer, deeper flavor profile. The filling is luxuriously smooth, thickened with just a touch of flour and brightened by a hint of lemon zest and juice to cut through the richness. Encased in a simple, buttery homemade crust, each bite delivers a warm, nostalgic taste of Southern hospitality. Perfect for holiday dinners or cozy autumn evenings, this dessert is easy to prepare using pantry staples. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it an irresistible finale to any meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking.
  3. Place the sweet potato chunks in a pot and cover with about 1 inch of water.
  4. Add the juice from 1/4 of the lemon to the water before bringing to a boil.
  5. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Drain the potatoes well and mash them until completely smooth.
  7. Measure out 2 cups of the mashed sweet potatoes for the filling.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and the remaining 1/4 lemon juice.
  9. Mix in the softened butter until the filling is creamy and well-blended.
  10. Prepare your pie crust by mixing butter and flour by hand until crumbly, then pressing it into a pie pan.
  11. Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggle-free.
  13. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to let the filling set properly.
