@theres.food.at.home Replying to @bina2785 Sweet Potato pie. I revamped the recipe a bit. Ingredients: 2 sweet potatoes (1lb) ½ c evaporated milk ½ c softened butter ½ c white sugar ½ c brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp ground nutmeg ¼ tsp ground ginger Pinch of salt Frozen deep dish pie crust Directions: Cook the sweet potatoes whole, whatever way you like until soft. I like to bake them wrapped in foil on 400 degrees for an hour or boil them until soft. You can even microwave them, totally up to you. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mash the potatoes with the butter in a mixing bowl. Then blend together with an electrical mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and spices and mix until combined. Next add the vanilla, milk & eggs. Mix with a mixer until everything is incorporated and smooth. Pour into the pie crust and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. Let it cool on a cooling rack, eat and enjoy! I like to serve it with a little bit of whipped cream. Notes: The pie may look puffy on top when finished, that's okay and it will deflate while cooling. #foodtiktok #pie #sweetpotato
