Janie’s Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie is simple and delicious, just like your grandmother used to make. This recipe is a variation of our Sweet Potato Pie recipe featured on the Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar packaging. In this version we used evaporated milk which results in a lower fat recipe.

Ingredients

4 cups evenly cubed sweet potatoes (about 2 regular sized sweet potatoes)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup packed Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell
Crème Chantilly

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Boil cubed sweet potatoes in non-salted water until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Transfer to blender or food processor. Add evaporated milk, brown sugar, and butter. Blend until very smooth. Measure exactly 2 cups of puree and transfer to bowl.
Whisk in eggs, spices, and salt.
Place pie shell on a cookie sheet and pour filling into pie shell. Place in oven for 15 minutes and then reduce heat to 350°F. Bake until pie no longer trembles in center and is set, about an additional 30 minutes.
Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with creme chantilly if desired.
