🛒 Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large potatoes, baked or boiled)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk (or half-and-half)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Crust:

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes

Bake or boil your sweet potatoes until fork tender. Peel and mash until smooth. You can also use canned sweet potatoes, drained well.

2. Make the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with melted butter, sugars, eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth, then stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. Assemble the Pie

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Bake the Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Let cool completely before slicing for best results.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Serve as-is, or top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

Yes! It keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.

Pumpkin is more earthy and subtle; sweet potato pie is richer, slightly sweeter, and more custard-like.

Don’t overbake it. Remove when the center is just set but slightly jiggly.
