Ingredients
- 1 (450 g) sweet potato, with skin
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) white sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Collect all necessary items.
- Put the whole sweet potato in a saucepan, submerge in water, and bring to a rolling boil. Cook until a fork can easily pierce it, approximately 40 to 50 minutes.
- Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to preheat. Once the sweet potato has cooked, take it out of the saucepan and cool it under running cold water. Peel and discard the skin, then break the potato into pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and use an electric mixer to blend until smooth.
- Incorporate the sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla into the bowl, then beat on medium speed to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into an unbaked pie crust.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool before enjoying.
Notes
- Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooled before blending with butter for a smoother texture.
- Adjust sugar amount to suit your desired level of sweetness.
- Try experimenting with spices like ginger or cloves to enhance the flavor profile.
