Ingredients
Scale
Purple Sweet Potatoes
- 2 cups mashed purple sweet potatoes
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Crust Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
Instructions
- Prepare the Purple Sweet Potatoes: Begin by peeling and boiling the purple sweet potatoes until tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain and let them cool before mashing.
- Make the Pie Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Pie Crust: While the filling is being prepared, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure a beautiful finish.
- Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Notes
- Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Look for firm, blemish-free purple sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the filling, mix just until smooth to avoid a tough texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the pie cool completely before serving for the best flavor and texture.
- Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground spices will elevate the flavor profile of your pie.
- Garnish Creatively: Top with whipped cream or toasted coconut for a stunning presentation.
