Wskazówki

Prep the sweet potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then set them aside. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Prep the crust: Use either a homemade or store-bought uncooked pie crust, pie dough, or pie shell. If you're using your own pie pan, grease it, press the uncooked crust inside, and set it aside.

Roast the sweet potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, place the sweet potatoes on top, and roast for 40 minutes or until fork-tender.

Cool and peel: Remove from the oven and allow the sweet potatoes to cool. Once cooled, the skins will easily peel away to reveal that soft, caramelized flesh.

Measure the sweet potato flesh: Gather 3 cups of the roasted sweet potato flesh for the filling.

Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato flesh with the evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.

Blend it smooth: Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip the mixture until the filling is silky smooth and well combined.

Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the pie: Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the center is puffed and set. Keep an eye on it—oven temps can vary!

Cool and serve: Let the pie cool for at least 4 hours or overnight for the perfect slice.

Optional garnish: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then slice, serve, and savor every soulful bite!
