MY MOM'S SWEET POTATO PIE



My Mom's Sweet Potato Pie image

Mom's sweet potato pies are a vital part of my family's Thanksgiving. This is a recipe she inherited from her mother. The blender incorporates ingredients so well that this makes a creamy pie beyond belief. Mom prefers her sweet potato pie without any spices at all, but I usually add pinch or two of the spices listed below. Also, in lieu of the glaze, we opt for a creamy refrigerated whipped topping, but I've included glaze directions as an option.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup carnation evaporated milk
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie shell

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. After your potatoes are done cooking and you've mashed them (make sure you mash them well or your pie will be stringy), add your butter mixing it until it melts.
  • Next take all your spices and mix them together in the smaller bowl. Add your vanilla to your spices and then add it to the potatoes. Beat your eggs well and mix them into your sweet potato mixture. Slowly begin to add your evaporated milk to the mixture. Be careful how much you add you don't want it to get to juicy. If you feel like you need to add more go ahead.
  • Pour mixture into your pie shell and put pies into preheated oven. Let bake 35 minutes.

Tips:

  • When choosing sweet potatoes, look for ones that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • To ensure the pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • When blind baking the pie crust, use pie weights or dried beans to prevent the crust from bubbling up.
  • To make sure the sweet potato filling is smooth, mash the potatoes until they are completely lump-free.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sweet potato pie filling, as this will make it dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

My Mama's Sweet Potato Pie is a delicious and classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and sweet and spicy flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
