Delicious Sweet Potato Pie Recipe | Perfect Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pie crust prepared (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully heated for even baking.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender, then mash them.

    Let the sweet potatoes cool before mashing for better consistency.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth.

    Using an electric mixer can help achieve a smoother texture.
  4. Prepare Pie Crust

    Place the prepared pie crust into a pie dish.

    If using a frozen crust, allow it to thaw according to package instructions.
  5. Fill the Crust

    Pour the sweet potato mixture into the crust evenly.

    Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
  6. Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set.

    Check for doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

    Serve with whipped cream for added flavor.
