Today, I'm going to show you how to make your own sweet potato pie from scratch. If you've struggled with this before, struggle no more because I'm going to make it so easy for you.
Ingredients
2-3 small sweet potatoes (deep red or deep orange in color)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup half and half (room temperature)
1/2 cup butter (room temperature, melted but not hot)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 9-inch pie shell (thawed)
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
Choose sweet potatoes that are deep red or deep orange. Smaller ones are usually sweeter.
Clean the potatoes and prick them a few times with a knife or fork (about nine times each).
Bake the potatoes until tender and caramelized, which enhances their sweetness.
Let them cool before peeling.
Smooth the Potatoes:
Use a hand mixer to blend the peeled sweet potatoes until smooth.
Remove any strings from the potatoes. If there are strings, they will appear on the blender attachments—discard them.
Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, add the brown sugar, white sugar, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves), and pure vanilla extract.
Add the lemon juice, which balances out the flavors with a touch of tang.
Add the melted butter (room temperature) and half and half (room temperature). Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
Taste and Adjust:
Taste your custard mixture. If you want more sugar or spices, add them now.
Once the custard is to your liking, add the eggs and flour. Ensure you measure the flour correctly without packing it into the measuring cup.
Prepare Pie Shell:
Ensure your pie shell is completely thawed before adding the pie filling.
If you wish to blind bake or par-bake your pie shell, add some beans on top of parchment paper in the shell. Bake in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.
Fill and Bake:
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pie shell.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Set:
Let the pie cool completely and allow it to set for at least 3 hours. This step is crucial to ensure the pie firms up and achieves the right texture.
Conclusion :
Making this pie is simple, right? The hardest part is waiting for it to set before you can dig in!
I hope you all try this recipe. Let me know what you think, and I'll catch you in my next one. Enjoy your homemade sweet potato pie! Don't forget to like and comment.
