Lip Smacking Southern Sweet Pie

“This is the pie everyone asks me to bring every year…

Recipe: Ingredients

3 medium (390 g) sweet potatoes, baked

1/2 cup (113 g) butter

1 cup (198 g) granulated sugar

2 teaspoons (9 g) vanilla extract

2 large (100 g) eggs, beaten 1/2 cup (114 g) milk, whole or evaporated

1(9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Optional Toppings

whipped cream

marshmallow fluff.

Directions:

Bake Sweet Potatoes. Once baked and slightly cooled, peel the skins off of the sweet potatoes and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Make the Sweet Potato Pie Filling. Heat oven to 350º F. Mash the peeled sweet potatoes with the softened butter. Add the sugar(s) and the vanilla extract and mix until well combined and pour in the milk and eggs. Mix until the mixture is well combined. I use a simple potato masher, but you can also use an electric mixer if you prefer. that’s what I do.

Bake the Pie : Pour the pie filling mixture into unbaked pie crust. Bake until the center of the pie is just set and does not jiggle in the center when moved, about 60 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Serve: Serve slightly warm or allow to cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator to serve later.

How to Serve

This pie is delicious served perfectly plain, but I also love to serve this pie with a few toppings:

Brown Sugar option:

3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
