Sweet Potato Pie
This sounds really good, on my to cook list. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams sweet potato
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 eggs, chicken or duck
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pie crust, 9 inch, bought, Shortcut
Instructions
- Boil the sweet potatoes whole with skin on until fork tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool them under running water and peel them.
- If you are using a bought crust, thaw that out. If making your own crust, go ahead and make while the sweet potatoes are cooking, then line a pie dish with the crust and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F).
- Place the sweet potatoes in a pot and using a potato masher, mash them up well. Add remaining ingredients except for obviously, the crust 🙂
- Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. As the pie cooks it will puff up then sink down as it cools, perfectly normal.
- Allow the pie to cool completely, break out the whipped topping, cut, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
