Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch homemade unbaked pie crust
- 1.5 pounds sweet potatoes
- 4 ounces butter (Softened)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup milk (Any type of milk works)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the sweet potatoes by boiling or baking them until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash until smooth.
- Mix the filling by combining the mashed sweet potatoes, softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, eggs, egg yolk, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Stir until completely smooth.
- Fill the unbaked pie crust with the sweet potato filling, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the pie for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling has set and the crust is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Cool the pie for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
