Description

This rich and comforting sweet potato pie offers a velvety texture and warm, aromatic flavors that rival traditional pumpkin pie. Made with roasted sweet potatoes, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of vanilla, the filling is smooth and deeply flavorful. The combination of eggs and evaporated milk creates a custard-like consistency that sets perfectly in a flaky pie crust. Ideal for holiday gatherings, Thanksgiving dinners, or cozy weekend baking, this dessert brings a taste of home to any occasion. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then boil until tender. Drain well and mash until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with softened butter and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture and stir until well blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the evaporated milk and mix well.
  6. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the sweet potato mixture and stir until combined.
  7. Pour the filling into the frozen pie shells.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
