Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes about 1 ½ pounds
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade if you prefer
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork. Bake them on a baking sheet for about 45 minutes, or until tender (you can test by inserting a fork into the center).
- Let them cool slightly before peeling off the skin and mashing them until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, evaporated milk, and whole milk to the mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pre-made pie crust and spread it out evenly.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the sweet potato filling using a hand blender or food processor.
- If you prefer a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar to your taste.
- Substitute the evaporated milk with coconut milk or almond milk and use a dairy-free pie crust for a dairy-free version.
