Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. For the crust, combine 1 stick of butter, 3 oz of cream cheese, and 1 cup of flour in a bowl. Mix by hand until a dough forms, then roll out on a floured surface and press into a pie pan.
  3. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a pot with 1/4 of a lemon and enough water to cover by 1 inch.
  4. Boil the sweet potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, then drain well.
  5. Mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of the mashed potatoes for the filling.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, vanilla, and the juice of the remaining lemon wedge until well combined.
  7. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie shell.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
