• Sweet potatoes

The main ingredient, or core ingredient, of the dish is the sweet potato, which adds a basic flavour of sweetness to it. For starters, you can take two medium-sized sweet potatoes.

• Milk

The second-most important ingredient in the recipe is milk. The ingredient makes the mixing of further ingredients easy and adds flavour to the entire recipe. Half a cup of milk can be added as per the quantity of sweet potatoes.

• Sugar

Being a sweet dish, a source of sweetness has to be there. So here we add natural sugar for that. You can add three-quarters of a cup of granulated sugar.

• Eggs

Further, you need to add two beaten eggs to the mixture. This will be explained below.

• Additional flavours: Melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg

To make the base for a delicious sweet potato pie, combine melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt with an unbaked pie crust.

Steps to make sweet potato pie recipe

The main ingredients have been previously delineated. Let’s now concentrate on the mixing and baking process. It’s actually very easy to make a sweet potato pie that looks like it came out of a bakery. The steps to follow are as follows:

• Boil the two medium-sized potatoes so that they are ready to mash. Mashing should be done properly, and boiling should be enough to make it squeezy. Sweet potatoes should be boiled until they are soft. After draining them, remove the outer layer.
  
• Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pie crust. You can make your own pie crust or use one that is already made and available in stores.

• Mix the mashed sweet potatoes, powdered sugar, milk, beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Once the ingredients are well combined and the mixture has a smooth consistency, stir it thoroughly.

• With the help of a spatula, evenly distribute the sweet potato filling as you gently pour it into the prepared pie crust. After preheating the oven, place the pie inside and bake it for 40 to 50 minutes at 150°C. When the filling is set and a toothpick pushed into the centre comes out clean, the pie is ready.

Pie should be allowed to cool for at least an hour after baking before being sliced and served. Savour the flavour of your homemade sweet potato pie.
