MY MOM'S SWEET POTATO PIE



My Mom's Sweet Potato Pie image

Mom's sweet potato pies are a vital part of my family's Thanksgiving. This is a recipe she inherited from her mother. The blender incorporates ingredients so well that this makes a creamy pie beyond belief. Mom prefers her sweet potato pie without any spices at all, but I usually add pinch or two of the spices listed below. Also, in lieu of the glaze, we opt for a creamy refrigerated whipped topping, but I've included glaze directions as an option.

Provided by My Food and Family

Categories     Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup carnation evaporated milk
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie shell

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. After your potatoes are done cooking and you've mashed them (make sure you mash them well or your pie will be stringy), add your butter mixing it until it melts.
  • Next take all your spices and mix them together in the smaller bowl. Add your vanilla to your spices and then add it to the potatoes. Beat your eggs well and mix them into your sweet potato mixture. Slowly begin to add your evaporated milk to the mixture. Be careful how much you add you don't want it to get to juicy. If you feel like you need to add more go ahead.
  • Pour mixture into your pie shell and put pies into preheated oven. Let bake 35 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of flavors, use a combination of white and brown sugar in the filling.
  • If you want a creamier filling, add an extra egg yolk. For a richer filling, add an extra tablespoon of butter.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the pie filling tough.
  • Blind-bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature (425°F) for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature (350°F) for the remaining baking time. This will help the crust brown evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

The sweet potato pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful filling and flaky, buttery crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this sweet potato pie recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
