Sweet Potato Pie Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet potato with skin
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place whole sweet potato in pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Boil until tender when pierced with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove sweet potato from the pot and run under cold water. Remove and discard skin. Break sweet potato flesh apart and place in a bowl. Add butter and mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Add sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla; beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth.
  • Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

Notes

I use a food processor to blend the sweet potatoes and filling ingredients together for an extra-smooth filling. The pie will be puffed up like a soufflé when you remove it from the oven, but it will deflate as it cools.
