🍠 Classic Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

For the filling:

• 2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and melted butter.
3. Add sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust and smooth the top.
5. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is set but has a slight jiggle.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing.
7. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 🍠🥧

Tip: For extra flavor, roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them—the natural sweetness becomes deeper and richer.
