A staple on my childhood table at Thanksgiving was canned sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows that charred in the oven. That flavor unlocks some sentimental memories of that time in my life. You’ll find an elevated version of that combination in my recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole with Toasted Marshmallow Fluff, but this Sweet Potato Pie is my latest recipe with one of my favorite potatoes to use. In case it's not obvious, you'll want to use garnet sweet potatoes with the reddish-purple skin vs. a white sweet potato. You can easily make this recipe using a gluten-free crust, too.

Cook Mode

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place rack in the middle of the oven.
Add 2 cups sweet potato purée to a medium bowl with the rest of the filling ingredients – ½ cup melted butter, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs (whisked), 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ cup whole milk – and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Pour filling into prepared 9-inch unbaked pie shell. Place on the middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until center is set. You’ll want to cover the exposed pie crust after about 40 minutes to keep it from burning.
Let cool for at least 1 hour and decorate with whipped topping (optional) to serve. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

Roast sweet potatoes in advance. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Poke holes in the sweet potato and roast on a lined baking sheet for at least 50 minutes, until a fork easily pierces through the entire potato. Once cool to the touch, peel off and discard the skin and purée in a food processor to achieve the smoothest texture.
