The best brown butter sweet potato recipe!!!
This sweet potato pie recipe is perfect for the holidays. Part 8 of my Holiday Edition recipes!!!
4 large sweet potatoes
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
5 eggs
1.5-1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tsp real vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon ( use less if you want I like extra)
1 tsp nutmeg
1tsp ground ginger
A splash of orange juice (add more if you like)
2-2 1/2 all purpose flour
Note: this recipe was enough for 1 deep dish pie and 11 minis(muffin size) please adjust measurements if needed
I baked the minis on 350 30mims and the whole pie 350 for 1 hour
Allow (whole)pie to completely cool and place in the refrigerator to set properly 2-4 hours. 24 hours for best results. I personally don’t follow this rule for my minis. My family eats the minis as soon as they cool down.
Brown butter, also known as beurre noisette in French, is made by heating butter until the milk solids caramelize and the water evaporates:
1. Melt butter
In a light-colored saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat, melt unsalted butter.
2. Cook
Cook the butter until it boils, simmers, and sputters, and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. The milk solids will separate into brown flecks and sink to the bottom of the pan. This process usually takes about 2–7 minutes.
3. Cool
Pour the browned butter into a glass container to cool. The dark bits at the bottom of the pot contain the most flavor, so don't leave them behind.
Brown butter can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It has a richer, deeper flavor than regular butter, and can be used to top vegetables, baked into desserts, or served with fish. You can store brown butter in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to three months.
Here are some tips that might help:
Stirring constantly ensures even cooking.
Use a light-colored pan so you can easily see when the butter has browned.
If you want to use brown butter in a baking recipe that calls for softened butter, make sure it cools and solidifies first.

Sweet potato pie is a quintessential dessert that graces many holiday tables. This version elevates traditional flavors by incorporating brown butter, which adds a nutty richness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the potatoes. To make your sweet potato pie truly stand out, consider using farm-fresh ingredients. Opt for organic sweet potatoes, which have a deeper flavor and creamy texture. Additionally, using high-quality butter can enhance the overall taste. For a unique twist, you can experiment with spices beyond cinnamon and nutmeg; consider adding cardamom or allspice to create a more complex flavor profile. When preparing your pie, ensure the sweet potatoes are thoroughly cooked and mashed to prevent a gritty texture. Baking the pie at the right temperature is crucial to achieving that perfect, flaky crust while allowing the filling to set properly. Don't forget to let your pie cool completely before serving; this helps develop the flavors even further. You can optionally top your pie with toasted pecans or marshmallows for added texture and flavor. This brown butter sweet potato pie recipe will surely become a favorite at your holiday gatherings!
