Instructions

1. Prepare sweet potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Boil or steam until soft (about 20 minutes).
3. Mash until smooth; let cool slightly.

2. Make the filling

1. In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter.
2. Beat in eggs, then add milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until smooth.

3. Assemble

1. Pour filling into the pie crust.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Bake

• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set (a knife inserted should come out clean).
• If the crust browns too fast, cover edges with foil.

5. Cool & Serve

• Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.
• Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Tips

• Extra flavor: Add 1 tbsp bourbon or maple syrup to the filling.
• Creamier texture: Use heavy cream instead of milk.
• Spices: Adjust cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste.

If you want, I can also share a mini tart version, a vegan version, or a sweet potato pecan twist that’s even richer. Do you want me to?
