Ingredients
- 2 lbs Sweet potatoes
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Light brown sugar
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 4 oz Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- ½ tsp Ground ginger
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Ground cloves
- 1 Pie crust (9 inches)
Instructions
- Line the baking sheet with foil, spray the baking spray, and preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and then dry them with the help of paper towels. With the fork, make piercings in them several times. Place them on the foil-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes so that they are very tender.
- Take a pie pan, grease it with baking spray, and place the pie crust on it. Place it on a side.
- Take out the baked sweet potatoes from the oven, cool them, and peel their skin. Then place peeled sweet potatoes in a bowl. Mash them with a handheld mixer.
- Add the unsalted softened butter to the mashed potatoes and mix them for a minute so that they are combined thoroughly. Then add eggs and repeat the same.
- Add cloves, salt, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to the mixture. Give them a thorough mix to combine all the ingredients very well. In the final mixing step, add evaporated milk and vanilla extract and mix them.
- In the pie crust that you previously added to the pie crust pan, add this mixture. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The colour of the pie should be brown.
- Take out once the pie is done. Let it cool for half an hour and garnish with whipping cream and cinnamon powder. Black Folk’s Sweet Potatoes are ready. Serve and enjoy!
