Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Premade pie crust or homemade crust
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, place them on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until they are completely tender.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, let them cool slightly, then peel and discard the skins. Mash the sweet potato flesh in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the unsalted butter to the warm sweet potatoes and stir until melted and combined.
Mix in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
Add the bourbon, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, and mix thoroughly to create a spiced pie filling.
Roll out your premade or homemade pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve with whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy the rich, spiced flavor with a touch of bourbon warmth.
