How to Make Sweet Potato Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wrap 2 large sweet potatoes tightly in 2 layers of aluminum foil.
- Roast in the preheated oven until very soft, about 75-80 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the sweet potatoes cool, prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup packed brown sugar.
- Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter and mix until crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Ensure no cracks.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Peel and mash the cooked sweet potatoes using a fork or potato masher.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, 2 large eggs, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the partially baked crust.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar over the top.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Enjoy!
