How to Make Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie Made Easy

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil or steam sweet potatoes until tender (about 20 minutes).
  3. While sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the topping: In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Once sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Then, add them to a food processor along with the evaporated milk, melted butter, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt.
  5. Process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the two prepared pie crusts.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  8. Remove pies from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents a soggy bottom.
  9. Once completely cool, spread the prepared whipped cream topping evenly over each pie.
  10. Dust with ground cinnamon, if desired.
  11. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious homemade sweet potato pie!
