Sweet Potato Pie

This creamy, rich dessert is so easy to put together especially if you boil and mash the sweet potatoes a couple of days in advance. If you use a store bought crust, it goes together even faster. The subtle flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg will make this pie a real winner on your Thanksgiving Day table or any time of the year! Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a 9 inch pie plate.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Peel, chop and boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Drain well and mash. Set aside. You can do this step two days in advance. Just cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and mix well.
  • Stir in the milk, sweet potatoes, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, then mix until well combined.
  • Isn't this pretty? LOL!
  • Pour the mixture into your unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Cool completely then slice and serve with a big dollop of whipped cream.
  • Thanks for stopping by today my friends! It's the Saturday before Thanksgiving and I know you are all going to have a busy day and the stores will be crowded. On days like this I have to stop, take a deep breath and remember that Thanksgiving is a day set aside to give thanks for all our blessings and not a day to stress out about. I hope your Saturday is blessed with kindness and consideration and the stores have extra check outs open! Journey On! Hugs and much love from me, Karen, TJG
