A silky sweet potato pie with warm spices, perfect for holiday gatherings and fall baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, beaten eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter.
  3. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined. You can use an electric mixer for a silkier texture.
  4. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This pie is excellent made ahead.

Notes

  • For a smoother filling, you can press the cooked sweet potatoes through a sieve before mixing.
  • If you prefer a richer pie, you can substitute heavy cream for the evaporated milk.
  • Blind-baking the crust beforehand can help prevent a soggy bottom, especially if you are not serving immediately.
  • This recipe is a great example of southern pie recipes and classic holiday pies.
