Description

This Sweet Potato Pie with Condensed Milk is a classic Southern dessert featuring a smooth, creamy filling made from mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, and warm spices, all baked to perfection in a flaky pie crust. Its rich, velvety texture and nostalgic flavor make it a perfect treat for holidays or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large potatoes)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Peel the skins and cut into chunks to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
  3. Boil Sweet Potatoes: Boil the sweet potato chunks in a large pot of water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash them in a bowl until smooth, then allow to cool slightly.
  4. Mix Filling Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and sweetened condensed milk. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and lump-free.
  5. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the mixture, mixing well after each addition to achieve a creamy and uniform texture.
  6. Season Filling: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg thoroughly, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  7. Add Butter: Pour in the melted butter and mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  8. Fill Pie Crust: Carefully pour the sweet potato mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.
  9. Bake the Pie: Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack at room temperature. This allows the filling to set properly for best texture.
  11. Serve: Once fully cooled, slice and serve the sweet potato pie. It is delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • You can roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling for a deeper flavor.
  • Make sure the sweet potatoes are well mashed to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean slices.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute melted butter with coconut oil and use a dairy-free pie crust.
  • The pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
