Cook Time

Ingredients

For the crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Rolling pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Fork

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. For the crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Add more ice water if needed.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes. Roll out the dough into a circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
  5. For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth.
  6. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. To check if the filling is set, gently shake the pie. If the center jiggles slightly, it's done.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

This pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pie for up to 1 month. To freeze, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store in the freezer. To thaw, let the pie sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh, not canned, sweet potatoes for the best taste and texture.
  • If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use heavy cream or whole milk instead.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can add more brown sugar or even some maple syrup.
  • For a spicier pie, you can increase the amount of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • When rolling out the pie crust, make sure to dust the surface with enough flour to prevent sticking.
  • Don't overmix the filling or it may become too dense.
