Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2–3 medium, cooked & peeled)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes
   Boil or bake sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Peel and mash until very smooth (no lumps).
2. Mix the Filling
   In a large bowl, whisk mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, melted butter, and evaporated milk.
   Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
3. Fill the Crust
   Pour the smooth filling into the unbaked pie crust. Spread evenly.
4. Bake
   Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.
5. Cool
   Remove from oven and let cool at least 1 hour to fully set.

Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Pie

• Use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for richer flavor
• For extra creaminess, blend the filling
• Don’t overbake—slight jiggle in the center is perfect

Serving Ideas

• Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top for presentation
