Make a classic, creamy Southern sweet potato pie with warm spices. This recipe is perfect for holiday gatherings and delivers comfort in every slice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated unbaked deep-dish pie crust
  • 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, beaten eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix the filling.
  4. Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust.
  5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center may still look slightly soft but will set as it cools.
  6. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  7. Serve plain or top with whipped cream for a complete holiday dessert.

Notes

  • To ensure a creamy texture, use fully cooked and smooth sweet potatoes. Avoid leaving lumps.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for the granulated sugar.
  • This pie tastes best when served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
