Classic Sweet Potato Pie
Servings: 8
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 50–60 min
Ingredients:
For the crust (store-bought or homemade):
- 1 9-inch pie crust
For the filling:
- 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2–3 medium sweet potatoes)
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare sweet potatoes:
- Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender. Peel and mash until smooth.
- Make filling:
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together.
- Add mashed sweet potatoes, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Fill the crust:
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Cool & serve:
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Optional: top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
✅ Tips / Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ginger or allspice.
- Use half-and-half or cream instead of milk for a richer filling.
- Sweet potatoes can be roasted for deeper flavor instead of boiling.
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute version using canned sweet potatoes that’s just as creamy and flavorful—perfect when you’re short on time.
