A classic Southern sweet potato pie with a silky smooth, spiced filling and a flaky crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Add the melted butter and mix well.
  5. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra smooth filling, you can press the mashed sweet potatoes through a sieve before mixing.
  • This pie is delicious served chilled or at room temperature.
  • Consider adding a pinch of cloves for a deeper spice flavor.
