Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ⅔ cups light cream
3 tablespoons butter, softened
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
⅔ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake sweet potatoes until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool until easily handled.
  • Peel and mash sweet potatoes. Make sure all lumps are removed, straining if necessary.
  • Lightly beat eggs. Blend together eggs and sweet potatoes. Stir in sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend in cream. Pour into pie shell.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge of pie comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
  • Make the caramelized pecan topping. Combine butter or margarine, brown sugar, and pecans. Gently drop by spoonfuls over cooled pie to cover top. Broil 5 inches below heat until mixture begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully, if cooked too long, top will turn syrupy. Cool on rack.

I thought this pie was just okay. The crust was a little bland and the filling was too runny.

I've made this pie several times and it always turns out perfect. It's a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes.
