Southern Sweet Potato Pie Ingredients
3 Sweet Potatoes, baked and skinned (valuable hint below), 1 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1/4 Cup dark brown sugar, packed, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, two eggs, 6 Tablespoons heavy cream, 1/4 Cup pecans for garnish, 1 9? prepared pie pastry (I cheat and use store bought pre-made pie shells!)
Instructions
1. Prepare pastry in pie plate. Refrigerate until necessary. 2. Preheat oven to 350F. 3 In large mixing bowl, mash sweet potatoes. To get a smoother filling, you could also run through a food processor, blender or food mill. 4. Add butter, syrup and sugar and continue mashing until smooth. 5. Whisk in cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs. 6. Thoroughly fold in cream. 7. Pour mixture into pie shell and garnish with pecans. 8. Bake for around 25 minutes or till the edges start to rise up. The center will look not fairly set.
Garnish with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Hints for baking the sweet potatoes
Wash potatoes and trim off the ends. Bake in 400 F oven for 45 minutes. If you are making use of left over sweet potatoes, or baking them a day ahead, your pie could need more baking time.
