Here’s a classic, comforting Sweet Potato Pie recipe — creamy, spiced, and perfect for dessert.
🍠 Sweet Potato Pie
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the Filling
- 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2–3 medium)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping edges as desired.
2️⃣ Prepare Sweet Potato Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the mashed sweet potatoes and butter until smooth.
- Add sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
- Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
3️⃣ Assemble Pie
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set (slightly jiggly is okay, it will firm as it cools).
- If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours before slicing.
- Optional: serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Variations
- Spice mix: Adjust cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste.
- Sweetener alternatives: Use maple syrup or honey for part of the sugar.
- Crustless version: Pour filling into a buttered pie dish and bake for a custard-style sweet potato pie.
If you want, I can also give a mini sweet potato pie muffin version that’s portable and perfect for single servings.
Do you want me to provide that version?
