Ingredients
For the Pie Filling:
- 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2-3 medium sweet potatoes)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, cube, and boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked pie crust and spread evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier pie, add a pinch of ground cloves or increase the cinnamon or ginger.
- To make the pie crust extra crispy, try blind-baking it before adding the filling.
