Sweet Potato Pie is a comforting dessert with a creamy, spiced filling made from mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, and warm spices, all nestled in a buttery, flaky pie crust. This simple yet delicious pie is perfect for fall, holidays, or any time you’re craving a rich, sweet treat. It’s a family favorite that’s easy to make, requiring only a few ingredients and a pre-made pie crust.

Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust

2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sweet Potato Filling:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Cook the sweet potatoes by peeling and boiling them for 15-20 minutes until soft. Alternatively, bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes. Once cooked, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

  • Mix the Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and well combined. You can use a whisk or a hand mixer for a creamier texture.

  • Assemble the Pie:

    • Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. For a less soggy crust, lightly pre-bake it according to package instructions.

    • Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  • Bake the Pie:

    • Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The filling should have a slight jiggle but shouldn’t be runny.

  • Cool the Pie:

    • Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to help the filling set properly and make slicing easier.

  • Serve:

    • Serve the pie as is or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

For a spiced version, add 1 tsp of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of cloves to the filling.

A vegan version can be made by substituting coconut or almond milk for evaporated milk and using a dairy-free butter alternative.

Use a graham cracker crust for a different flavor and texture.
