How To Make Sweet Potato Pie

This southern classic is similar to pumpkin pie. The custard is easy to make and sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A and beta carotene so you won’t feel guilty about enjoying your dessert. To make the filling, combine cooked sweet potatoes and butter in a standing mixer to create a creamy puree. Add in sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, and eggs and mix until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. You can add the filling to your homemade pie crust and bake until the pie is set. If the pie is still runny or jiggles, you will need to cook it longer. You can present the pie with some whipped cream, caramel and pecans for a great fall dish. In this video, Chef Susie provides an online cooking lesson for making a sweet potato pie that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
