Southern Sweet Potato Pie Recipe
Description
This Southern Sweet Potato Pie Recipe begins by baking whole large sweet potatoes wrapped in foil until soft. After cooling, the skins are removed and the sweet potatoes are mashed and combined with sugars, instant vanilla pudding mix, evaporated milk, eggs, softened butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract for a smooth, flavorful filling. The mixture is poured into a graham cracker crust, which adds a sweet, slightly crunchy base. The pie is baked at high temperature briefly, then finished at a lower temperature until set. The texture is creamy and firm, with warm spices and rich vanilla notes. It is typically served cooled, often topped with ice cream, whipped cream, or whipped topping. This pie makes an excellent dessert that showcases the natural sweetness and smoothness of sweet potatoes enhanced with complementary sweet and fragrant ingredients.
