How to Make Pineapple Sweet Potato Pie
- Prepare your favorite 9-inch pie crust and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup half-and-half, 1 large egg, 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool completely.
- Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving ½ cup of the juice.
- In a small saucepan, combine the reserved pineapple juice and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger and the remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Cut the pineapple chunks in half. Arrange the pineapple halves over the cooled pie in a pinwheel pattern.
- Spoon the thickened pineapple topping evenly over the arranged pineapple.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional) and serve.
