Time 35m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

25 gingersnap cookies
4 tablespoons butter, melted, plus 3 Tbsp. melted and cooled
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch clove
1/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup condensed milk
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F
  • Place cookies in the bowl of the food processor; pulse until fairly fine, yeilding 1 cup crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl, and stir in 4 tablespoon melted butter. Press mixture into bottom and sides of 9-inch pie tin. Bake until set and slightly darkened, 12-15 minutes. Do not overbake. Set aside.
  • Turn oven up to 375°F Fill a small saucepan with water. Add potato; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potato is very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
  • Pass potato through a food mill or potato ricer into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add sugar, eggs and condensed milk. Mix until combined. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons butter until combined. Add reserved flour mixture, and combine. Pour filling into cooled crust, and bake until filling is set, 30-35 minutes. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream, if desired.

This was the best sweet potato pie I've ever had! The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this pie again.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The filling was creamy and delicious, and the gingersnap crust added a nice touch of spice. I will definitely be making this pie again.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The pie was easy to make and the filling was delicious. However, I didn't care for the gingersnap crust. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

This pie was a little too sweet for me, but my family loved it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The pie was good, but the crust was a little too hard for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is easy to make and the filling is creamy and delicious. I often add a dollop of whipped cream on top before serving.

This sweet potato pie was a hit! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the gingersnap crust added a nice touch of spice. I used bourbon extract instead of vanilla, which gave the pie a unique flavor that my guests loved.
