Here’s a classic Sweet Potato Pie recipe — creamy, spiced, and perfect as a dessert! 🍠🥧
🍠 Sweet Potato Pie
🛒 Ingredients (serves 6–8)
- 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2–3 medium sweet potatoes, cooked and peeled)
- 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Prepare the filling
- In a large bowl, beat together mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, and butter until smooth.
- Add eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Assemble the pie
- Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Cool & Serve
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
- Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
✨ Tips & Variations
- Add a splash of orange juice or zest for a citrusy flavor.
- Substitute brown sugar or maple syrup for part of the sugar for a deeper flavor.
- Add a pinch of ginger or allspice for extra warmth.
- For a vegan version, use coconut milk and a flax egg instead of butter and eggs.
