Growing up, nothing compared to my Aunt Earline’s Sweet Potato Pie. It was the highlight of every family gathering—a slice of pure love and tradition. When she passed away, I didn’t realize that her pie would become a memory, one I thought I’d never taste again.

That all changed when I reached out to her daughter and granddaughter for the recipe. Learning to make it myself was the best gift I could have given. Every time I bake one, it’s like reconnecting with my Aunt Earline and savoring a little piece of heaven.

Now, I want to share this joy with you. Instead of simply telling you how incredible this pie is, I’ll show you. Watch my step-by-step video tutorial and learn how to create a sweet potato pie that’s as close to perfection as it gets. Trust me—it’s a recipe you’ll treasure forever! 🍠🥧

Reciepe:

3 Medium Sweet Potatos (Boil for 1 hour to 90 minutes until soften)

3 Eggs (whip the eggs) 1 Tbs of Vanilla 1/2 Tbs Cinnamon 1/2 Tbs Nutmeg

1 Cup of Sugar 1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (I use Eagle Brand)

1 Stick of Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)

2 pie crust ( regular or deep dish depending on how thick you want your pie)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Perfect Sweet Potato Pie

1️⃣ Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2️⃣ Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and condensed milk. Mix well to combine.
3️⃣ Peel the boiled sweet potatoes and add them to the mixture one at a time. Blend thoroughly to ensure the mixture is smooth and to catch or eliminate any strings from the sweet potatoes. Nobody wants strings in their pie!
4️⃣ Pour the mixture into your prepared pie crust.
5️⃣ Bake at 350°F for 90 minutes:

• For the first 45 minutes, bake uncovered to allow the pie to set.

• Cover with aluminum foil for the last 45 minutes to prevent the crust from burning.

Let the pie cool before serving, and enjoy a slice of sweet, creamy heaven! 🥧✨
