How to Make Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- For the filling: In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together 3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Mix until completely smooth and well combined.
- Stir in 1/2 cup milk or cream.
- Pour the filling into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before adding the meringue.
- For the meringue: In a clean, dry bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the cooled pie filling, ensuring it touches the crust to seal in the filling.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of granulated sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and set.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
