Ingredients
Making a sweet potato pie requires few ingredients. You need to start off with a pre-made pie crust. You can buy this at your local store or make one yourself. Along with the crust, you will need to gather together some sweet potatoes, eggs, butter, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. If you want to mix things up a bit, you could also add some brown sugar and evaporated milk to the recipe for an extra special twist.
Instructions
Once you have all of your ingredients together, you can start making your pie. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and cube your sweet potatoes and then boil them for around 15 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, mash them in a large bowl. Add the eggs, butter, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the mashed potatoes. Then mix the ingredients together until they are fully blended.
Step 1: Bake the Pie Crust
Once the ingredients are fully blended, pour the mixture into the pre-made pie crust. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for around 40 minutes. Once the pie is finished baking, let it cool on a wire rack.
Step 2: Enjoy Your Sweet Potato Pie
Once the pie has cooled, you can enjoy your delicious sweet potato pie. If you added any additional ingredients such as brown sugar or evaporated milk, the pie will have a sweet and creamy taste. You can serve it with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or whipped cream. This pie is best served warm, so make sure to let it cool before serving it.
Tips and Tricks
If you want to make the pie extra special, you can top it with some cinnamon and sugar. This will give the pie a sweet and crunchy top layer. You can also try adding some mini marshmallows for a marshmallowy topping. This is a great way to take your sweet potato pie to the next level.
Conclusion
Making a sweet potato pie is a great way to use up your sweet potatoes and show off your baking skills. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a delicious pie that is sure to please the whole family. Be sure to let the pie cool before serving so that it is nice and warm. Enjoy!
