Ingredients

  • 2 unbaked pie crusts
  • 5 c. roasted, mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1 c. butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 T. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 t. cinnamon
  • 1/2 t. nutmeg
  • 1 t. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.

In the bowl of a mixer, whip the mashed sweet potatoes until they are smooth.

Add the sugar and mix to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and eggs. Add this mixture to the sweet potatoes and continue to mix until smooth.

Add in the butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, and mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

Prepare two pie pans with pie crust.

Pour the batter equally into the two pie pans.

Bake pies for about 15 minutes at 400, then lower the temperature to 375 and cook for an additional 30 minutes (or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean).

Cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. Store in the refrigerator.
