Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds (about 3 medium) sweet potatoes
1 (9-inch) pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roast sweet potatoes until very soft, about 45-60 minutes.
Let sweet potatoes cool slightly, then peel and mash or process in a food processor until smooth (about 2 cups).
In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Pour filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Let cool completely before serving. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
