Black Folks Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly.

Boil or bake the sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Boiling typically takes about 20–25 minutes, while baking at 400°F takes about 45–50 minutes.

Once cooked, allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then peel off the skins.

Make the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, mash the peeled sweet potatoes until smooth.

Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well.

Stir in evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Pie Crust

Roll out your pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan.

Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

Pre-bake the crust for 5–7 minutes at 375°F to ensure it remains crisp after filling.

Assemble the Pie

Pour the sweet potato filling into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Bake the Pie

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Bake the pie for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Enjoy!
