Sweet Potato Pie

First up, here’s a luscious image of our star ingredient, sweet potato pie, just to get your taste buds tingling!

Delicious Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (canned is totally fine; we won’t judge!)
  • 1 cup sugar (because life is too short to skimp on sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk (where dairy dreams come true!)
  • 2 large eggs (the power duo of pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the secret to happiness)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (it’s basically fall in a jar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (because spice girls are great, but nutmeg is divine)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (just a pinch to keep everything balanced)
  • 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade; no pie-crust shaming here!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is where the magic begins!
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until it’s smoother than a jazz playlist on a Sunday afternoon.
  3. Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. You want to mix this until it’s all combined evenly, creating a delightful, decadent filling.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into your unbaked pie crust, smoothing out the top like you’re making a pancake (but a sweet one!).
  5. Bake in your preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Your kitchen will smell like a bakery, and you’ll be tempted to sit in front of the oven until it’s done.
  6. Once baked, let it cool for at least an hour. Patience is key here; nobody likes a warm pie that falls apart!
  7. Slice it up, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream if you’re feeling extra sassy, and enjoy the bliss of your hard work!

And there you go! A hilariously easy, deliciously sweet potato pie that’s bound to impress your friends, family, or anyone who happens to walk by your dessert table. Now, who’s ready for a slice?
