Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells
3 medium sweet potatoes (1-1/2 lbs. or can use one 17 oz. can sweet potatoes) or 3 medium yams (1-1/2 lbs. or can use one 17 oz. can sweet potatoes)
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
sweetened whipped cream, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cook raw sweet potatoes or yams in enough boiling salted water to cover for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Cool slightly and peel. Mash cooked or canned sweet potatoes (you should have 1-1/2 cups.) Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add eggs and milk; mix well.
  • Pour sweet potato mixture into unbaked pie shell. Cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in 375F degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes more or until a knife, inserted halfway between the center and edge, comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill to store. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.

This sweet potato molasses pie was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the molasses adds a delicious depth of flavor. The crust is flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this pie again!
