    Roasted Sweet Potato Pie

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    My Dad's birthday is Wednesday. I made him a sweet potato pie last night and delivered it today. I adapted joythebaker's recipe, both accidentally and deliberately. I added the granulated sugar too soon because I thought the ingredients were listed in order and they are not. I also changed the spices because her recipe calls for coriander which I am not fond of and fresh nutmeg. I prefer ground nutmeg in desserts. I also baked the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. I like the flavor better and they stay drier. I used my pie crust recipe too. So I guess her recipe was the inspiration for my sweet potato pie. My Dad called this afternoon to say they tried the pie and it was the best sweet potato pie they had ever eaten. My Mom said it would win first place in a sweet potato pie contest. They liked the spices, the texture, the crust, and the fact that it wasn't overly sweet.

    Equipment

    • Pie Pan
    • Baking sheet
    • Medium saucepan

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
    • ยพ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 ยผ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • ยฝ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon
    • โ…› teaspoon salt
    • 4 TBS butter melted
    • 1/1/4 cups evaporated milk two 5 ounce cans
    • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
    • ยฝ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 Prepared pie crust (double crust of you are decorating the top)

    Instructions
     

    • Puncture three large washed sweet potatoes (yams) several times with a fork. Roast the sweet potatoes in a 350 degree oven, unpeeled, until a knife slides in easily, about 20 minutes. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool until safe to handle, then peel and cube them. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
    • Measure 2 cups and put in a medium-sized pot with the packed brown sugar, the spices, salt, the ยฝ stick melted butter, and one 5 oz can of evaporated milk. heat over a low flame, whisking until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
    • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the three eggs with a fork. Add the second can of evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla to the eggs and continue beating until creamy. Pour the cooled sweet potato mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the egg mixture. Blend thoroughly with a whisk and refrigerate until ready to use.
    • Pour the filling into a single unbaked pie crust. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the pie puffs up and the center is only slightly jiggly. Approximately 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate.

    Notes

    Nutritional information does NOT include the pie crust(s).

      Mary, this pie is just lovely. My favorite part about Thanksgiving dinner is the PIE, and I can't think of a better pie than sweet potato pie. The stores around here have gotten in some really beautiful dark orange sweet potatoes....they are just begging to be made into your Roasted Sweet Potato Pie! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Love, Joy

        Thanks for the extra info; those look like fun! I'm guessing the white is whipped cream via a decorative piping?

      Number one, that may be the most beautifully decorated pie I've ever seen! ๐Ÿ™‚ Number two, I haven't had sweet potato pie since I lived in South Carolina. Maybe I'll have to make it for Thanksgiving to get my fix.

      Oh goodness but that is one beautiful pie. It's so pretty I would not want to cut it. I am with you on the spices. I am not a coriander fan so I would probably like your recipe better out of the two. Definitely pinning this one.

      You'll really like it Jodie. I made another one last night and I am having a slice with coffee this morning. It is really good. If you like coriander try the original recipe by Joy the baker. It gets rave reviews.

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
