A classic Southern dessert, this sweet potato pie features a silky, spiced filling made from roasted sweet potatoes, offering an earthy sweetness distinct from pumpkin pie. It’s a comforting soul food staple perfect for holiday tables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, roasted and mashed
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, and beaten eggs.
  3. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra smooth filling, you can press the mashed sweet potatoes through a sieve before mixing.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream if desired.
