Treat your ingredients with care...
- Sweet potatoes — Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have a deep orange color. Boil or bake them until they are tender and easily mashed.
- Evaporated milk — If you prefer a lighter version, you can use low-fat evaporated milk instead of the regular one.
- Pie crust — You can use a store-bought pie crust for convenience, or make your own using a traditional recipe.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra touch of indulgence, top the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- To enhance the flavor, you can add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the filling mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier pie, increase the amount of ginger or add a pinch of cloves.
- Make sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.
- Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Sweet Potato Delight at room temperature or slightly warmed. It pairs well with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of cold milk.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, dust the top of the pie with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar. You can also garnish it with a few pecan halves or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
