🔥 How to Make Sweet Potato Pie

1. Roast the sweet potatoes (Best Flavor)

• Heat oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Place whole sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.

• Roast 50–60 minutes, until soft.

• Cool slightly, peel, and mash until smooth.

💡 Roasting caramelizes sugars and makes the pie richer.

2. Make the filling

Using a mixer or whisk:

1. Beat mashed sweet potatoes with butter until creamy.

2. Add sugars and mix well.

3. Add eggs, one at a time.

4. Add evaporated milk, vanilla, and all spices.

5. Mix until silky smooth.

(Optional: use an immersion blender for extra-smooth custard.)

3. Fill the crust

Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell, smoothing the top.

---

4. Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes.

The center should be set but slightly jiggly—like pumpkin pie.

---

5. Cool completely

Let pie cool at least 2 hours before slicing.
This helps the custard fully set for clean slices.

🔥 High-Value Tips (Chef Secrets)

✔ Roast, don’t boil

Gives deeper flavor and no added water.

✔ Use both white & brown sugar

White = sweet
Brown = caramel richness

✔ Don’t overbake

Overbaking = cracks + dry texture.

✔ Add warming spices gradually

Sweet potato pie should be spiced, not overpowering.

✔ Let it rest

Flavor deepens as the pie cools. Next-day slices are heavenly.

🧡 Optional Flavor Upgrades

• ¼ tsp allspice

• Replace evaporated milk with heavy cream

• Add 2 tbsp sour cream for extra silkiness

• Toasted pecan topping for crunch
