Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to firm up.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Better Than Pumpkin Pie!
