Sweet Potato Pie is the kind of dessert that feels like a warm hug from home — silky, cozy, and wrapped in the scents of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s the pie that tastes like family gatherings, holiday laughter, and the comfort of traditions passed down through generations. One bite brings back memories you didn’t even know you missed.
Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let the pie cool completely so the filling can firm up.
Slice and serve as is, or top with whipped cream for extra sweetness.
Enjoy the warmth and nostalgia of true Southern Sweet Potato Pie.
