Sweet Potato Pie
Description
The recipe begins by baking whole sweet potatoes wrapped in foil until soft, then peeling and mashing them to form a smooth base. The mashed sweet potatoes are combined with sour cream, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and a blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to create a flavorful custard filling.
This filling is poured into a blind-baked pie shell and baked further at 350°F until the center is just set, yielding a pie with a creamy yet firm texture and well-developed spice warmth. Covering the edges during baking prevents overbrowning.
Sweet Potato Pie is typically served cooled, often accompanied by whipped cream, emphasizing the rich texture and aromatic spices in the filling. The recipe includes a link to a preferred pie crust method used for the shell to achieve the desired flakiness and support.
