This creamy and spiced sweet potato pie is perfect for anyone who loves a rich, flavorful dessert. With its buttery crust and smooth filling, it’s sure to be a hit wherever you serve it!

Sweet Potato Pie ### Ingredients:

1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If you’re using fresh sweet potatoes, peel and chop them before boiling in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them until smooth. If using canned sweet potatoes, simply drain and mash them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Roll out your pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges and crimp to make a decorative border if you like.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center appears set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving. This will help the filling firm up a bit more.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

Enjoy this sweet potato pie, whether you’re making it for a gathering or just a cozy night at home. It’s comforting, delicious, and sure to please everyone at your table!
