Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 cup) melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roast sweet potatoes until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Scoop out the sweet potato flesh and mash until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mashed sweet potato.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it with a pie shield or aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. Chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) for best results.
