Best Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

This is really the best sweet potato pie recipe...my kids love this even the die-hard pumpkin pie fans!

I had to come up with this recipe Christmas of 2009 when I could not find pumpkin puree anywhere! Plan B was to buy a pumpkin and to make the puree myself...only to find out that you cannot buy pumpkins in December!

What?

A Christmas without pumpkin pie and chocolate pumpkin bread? I was going to run into major opposition from some family members who shall remain nameless.

I pondered...and then it came to me that I could maybe substitute the pumpkin with some sweet potatoes! Same consistency...flavor a tad different but mixed with other spices...should be a go don't you think?

I am pleased to say that operation "homemade sweet potato pie" was a success! This is such an easy sweet potato pie recipe, why don't you try it? And then come back to leave your review.

You may already know that a sweet potato is only distantly related to the "regular" potato. The orange variety of sweet potatoes is also referred to as "yam" here of North America. Yams - which originate from Africa and Asia - are not used in this recipe. Instead, you will be using the firmer, white variety.

Best Sweet Potato Pie Recipe: Method

To make the sweet potato puree: peel and boil some sweet potatoes. When they are fully cooked and soft, blend them with a little milk if necessary until you have a puree.

In a large bowl - or a stand mixer - mix all the ingredients together until they are well blended.

Roll the pie crust and place it in a greased pie plate. Pour the batter into it.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before serving.
