Description

Sweet Potato Brown Sugar Pie is a delightful dessert that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich flavor of brown sugar, offering a creamy texture that melts in your mouth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes (cooked and mashed, about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted for richness)
  • 3 large eggs (to bind the filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a hint of warmth)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adds a cozy spice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for a touch of earthiness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (to enhance the flavors)
  • 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the sweet potatoes by boiling or baking until tender, then mash until smooth.
  3. Prepare the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set and lightly caramelized on top.
  7. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Choose firm, smooth sweet potatoes for the best flavor.
  • Use cold ingredients for a flaky pie crust.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the filling to your preference.
  • Consider adding spices like ginger or allspice for a unique flavor.
  • For gluten-free options, use a gluten-free pie crust.
  • For vegan alternatives, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds and use coconut oil instead of butter.
