Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Bake and Peel the Sweet Potatoes

  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a knife easily passes through the potato.
  • Leave the oven at 400°F.
  • Allow to cool, then remove the skin easily with your hands.

Prepare the Pie Crust

  • Lay both pie crusts on top of each other on a floured surface and roll out to be bigger.
  • Lay the new crust over a deep, 9-inch pie dish.
  • Fold the excess over and flute the edges with your fingers.

Bake the Pie Crust

  • Fill with a sheet of parchment paper, add some pie weights and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Prepare the Sweet Potato Filling

  • Add the sweet potato to a large mixing bowl.
  • Beat with a hand mixer, then add the cream and mix again.
  • Add the sugars, eggs, flour, maple syrup, lemon zest, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg.
  • Beat again until smooth.

Assemble the Pie

  • Pour this sweet potato mixture into the cooled pie crust.

Bake the Sweet Potato Pie

  • Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent burning.
  • Bake in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes.

Cool, Slice and Serve

  • Remove and allow the sweet potato pie to cool completely. Slice, serve and enjoy with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Blind-bake the crust: Keeps it crisp and prevents sogginess.
Cool before slicing: The filling needs time to set properly.
Cover the edges: Foil prevents the crust from overbrowning.
Use fresh sweet potatoes: The flavor and texture beat canned every time.
