Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks and boil them in a large pot of water until they are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or electric mixer.
Add the unsalted butter to the mashed sweet potatoes while the mixture is still warm, and mix until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, followed by the eggs, one at a time.
Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving to let it fully set.
Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
