Ingredients

- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Start by preparing your sweet potatoes. If you’re using fresh sweet potatoes, peel, chop, and cook them in boiling water until tender. Drain and mash them until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until everything is well blended and creamy.
- Pour the filling into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve slices warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. Enjoy every bite of this heavenly dessert!
