Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

I’m pretty sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but I like Sweet Potato Pie better than Pumpkin Pie! They are very similar, so much that I think someone could be easily fooled that one is the other. But there is a natural sweetness, a warmth from the spices, and an earthy flavor that really stands out to me in this pie.

I should probably include that I absolutely love sweet potatoes, too!

If you are looking for inspiration to complete your Thanksgiving dessert table, I recommend making Pecan Pie Dump Cake, Cranberry Pretzel Salad, Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars, Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes, and Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, too!

What You’ll Need for the Crust:

• 1 1/4 cup Flour
• 1/2 cup Butter Flavored Crisco
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 3 tbsp Cold Water

And the Sweet Potato Filling:

• 1 lb Sweet Potatoes, Peeled & Boiled
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp All Spice
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 3 Eggs, Slightly Beaten

How to Make a Sweet Potato Pie

• Make the pie crust by combining 1 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco, and 1/2 tsp salt.
• Gently stir in 3 tbsp cold water. (If too dry, add water gradually a teaspoon at a time.)
• Lightly sprinkle countertop with flour and roll out the pie crust. Place into pie pan and gently form to the shape of the pan.
• Using a knife, cut off extra around the edge of the pan.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• After the sweet potato pie mixture is poured into the crust, you can leave the edge of the crust as is or press a fork or your fingertip into the edge to give it a finishing touch.
• Peel 1 lb (2 large) sweet potatoes and boil until a fork inserted into them comes out easily. Transfer to a blender and mash until smooth.
• Place in a large bowl and add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp all spice, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp salt, 1 cup buttermilk, and 3 slightly beaten eggs. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour into prepared crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn heat down to 350 degrees and bake for 30-45 minutes. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
