How to Make Sweet Potato Molasses Pie
- Peel and chop 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds).
- Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with enough salted boiling water to submerge. Boil for 20-25 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel and mash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup molasses, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add 2 large eggs and ½ cup milk to the sweet potato mixture.
- Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the sweet potato filling into your 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
- Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil.
- Continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
- Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream (optional).
