Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) (23 cm) unbaked pie crust (store bought or homemade)
• 2 cups (12 3/4 oz./400 g) mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
• 1 cup (8 fl. oz./240 ml) milk, at room temperature
• 1 cup (6 1/2 oz./200 g) sugar
• 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) melted butter
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350°F (177°C).

Fit the pie crust into a 9 inch (23 cm) pie dish.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the sweet potatoes, milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and nutmeg until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula several times. Transfer the filling to the pie crust.

Bake until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature before serving. Serves 8.
