An easy recipe for a tasty dessert. Easily adaptable if your family likes their pie even more spicy (I'll put these ingredients in as optional but they go in at the same time as the rest of the spice). You can also use castor sugar instead of brown sugar.
Ingredients
- 454 g (1lb) sweet potato shopping list
- 115 g (1/2 cup) softened butter shopping list
- 100 g (1/2 cup) brown sugar shopping list
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) skimmed milk shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg shopping list
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla extract shopping list
- 1 x 9 inch unbaked pie crust shopping list
- OPTIONAL: shopping list
- 1/4 tsp cloves shopping list
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger shopping list
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (if adding this, also add 1 tbsp of flour or corn flour) shopping list
How to make it
- Boil the sweet potato in it's skin for 45-50 minutes. The longer the better as the skin will just fall off and the stringing will be minimalised.
- Run the sweet potato under cold water to remove the skin and break it up in a large bowl.
- Add the butter and mix well.
- Stir in the sugar, milk, eggs, spices and vanilla extract.
- Beat on a medium setting for 2 minutes or until the mix is smooth.
- Pour into the unbaked pastry case and bake for 55-60 minutes at Gas Mark 4 (350 F or 175 C). Test with a skewer that the filling is set.
- Note: The filling will puff up like a souffle, but it will settle down. Also, it's best not to be stingy with the filling!
