Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked pie crust (9 inches)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool.
- Mash the roasted sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add the cooled brown butter, heavy cream, sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes:
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust.
- Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to a month.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
