Ingredients
Scale
For the Pie Filling:
- 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2–3 medium sweet potatoes)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, cube, and boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the sweet potato mixture into the unbaked pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
