Sweet Potato Pie
 
 
by:
Serves: Makes 1 9-inch deep-dish pie
Ingredients
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie shell
  • 2 sweet potatoes (about 12 ounces each), pricked with a fork
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (14 ounces) canned condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs plus 2 yolks
Instructions
  1. Whether you’re using homemade or boxed refrigerated dough, have pre-baked pie shell ready. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees. Microwave sweet potatoes on high power until fork-tender, 9 to 10 minutes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and mash flesh with a fork.
  2. Along with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and salt, add mashed sweet potatoes to a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until potato starts to stick to pan bottom, about 5 minutes. Add condensed and evaporated milks; cook until sputtery. Whir eggs and yolks in a blender. With blender running, add a cup or so of the hot pumpkin mixture, a large spoonful at a time, to temper eggs. Add remaining pumpkin mixture; continue to puree to form a silky texture filling.
  3. Pour warm filling into warm pie shell. Bake until a thin-bladed knife inserted into the center of the filling comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack until warm or room temperature. Serve.
Notes
You can also make this pie with canned pumpkin substituting 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin for the 2 cups of cooked sweet potatoes
