Description

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes
• 5 (2½ ounces) Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• ¾ cup evaporated milk
• ½ Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp salt
• pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• whipped cream, to garnish

Directions

• Place sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water; cook until tender (~20-25 minutes). Let cool, and then scrape the potato out of the skins. Mash potatoes in a large bowl until smooth; set aside. (Note: Make sure the mashed sweet potatoes are smooth and not lumpy. I use a mixer to ensure they are smooth.)
• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
• Add the mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix until well combined.
• Transfer mixture into unbaked pie shell.
• Bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean. (Tip: Check crust after about ~40 minutes. If it is browning too quickly, cover crust with a thin strip of aluminum foil.)
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.
