🥧 Sweet Potato Pie — A Classic Southern Favorite


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

For the crust:
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the filling:
• 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 3 medium, roasted or boiled)
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
• ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ginger
• ¼ tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a bowl, mash sweet potatoes until smooth.
  3. Beat in brown sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter, and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  5. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake 50–60 minutes, until set and center jiggles slightly (a knife should come out mostly clean).
  7. Let cool completely on a wire rack—this allows the filling to fully set. Chill 1–2 hours before slicing for best texture.

✨ Serve chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

💡 Pro tip: Roast sweet potatoes instead of boiling for deeper flavor and less moisture.
