Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 4. Roll out the pie dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough into the dish, trimming the edges as needed. 5. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined. 6. Pour the sweet potato filling into the pie crust. 7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. 8. Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

- To make a decorative edge on the pie crust, use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges before baking. - If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning. - Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
