Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes (8-12 oz. each), peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup of butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pure cane syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 8-inch pie shell, frozen
Instructions
- Peel, slice, and boil sweet potatoes for 30 minutes until softened. You can also bake them (see Notes below).
- In a large bowl, mash sweet potatoes.
- Add butter, sugar, brown sugar, pure cane syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and evaporated milk to the same bowl.
- Blend all ingredients until smooth (around 5 minutes) and place filling into frozen pie shell.
- Bake for 55 minutes at 350°F.
Notes
You can also bake your sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Using a fork, make a few holes on the top of the sweet potato. Place them on a baking sheet (paid link) and bake them for 1 hour.
A sweet potato pie is done when the filling is set, but still has a slight wobble in the center when gently shaken. The edges should also be set, and the crust should be golden brown. You can also test for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick near the center; it should come out clean, with only a few moist crumbs remaining.
