Sweet potato pie is just one of those desserts I look forward to the minute temperatures start to drop. In my family, sweet potato pie makes its first appearance around the Thanksgiving table. A good sweet potato pie should have a bouncy custard-like filling that is sweet and spiced with just the right amount of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. This is actually my grandmother’s recipe with a few tweaks to suit my tastes. If the idea of making your first sweet potato pie intimidates you, I promise this recipe will be well received by anyone you serve it to.

5. Make Filling

While the pie shell bakes, peel skin away from sweet potatoes using your fingers or a paring knife. Add the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and stir until it has melted. Use a whisk to stir and mash the potatoes so they’re smooth. Add in the cream, both sugars, baking spices, vanilla bean paste, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until the consistency resembles a purée. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add in eggs and stir to combine.
