Anyone make Sweet Potato Pie?

[Kaido]

Attempting my first one tonight. Actually, I think it's the first pie I've ever made. I've had pumpkin pie, but not sweet potato pie, but everyone says it's the bomb! Anyone have a good recipe to share? I found a couple that use honey as a sweetener, so I went with that. Guess I'll find out in 20 minutes :awe:

I love both sweet potato and pumpkin pie. Pies are good. Mmm.

Gotta find a vegan recipe for myself this year for Thanksgiving, went vegan exactly after Thanksgiving last year, so first time hunting for recipes for turkey day in a while.

I've had cheap generic sweet potato pie, like the variety that, had it been pumpkin, I likely would have avoided (I've been spoiled by such good pumpkin pies, I cannot really enjoy a store-bought kind). And I've been impressed.

Being from up north, it's not something you see up here much (sweet potato pie). I love me baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato casserole, sweet potato fries, I think I've even had sweet potato chips... and I'm sure I've had some other variety of the deliciousness that is the sweet potato.

One time, I'll have to make it myself as well. I'll find a good recipe and hopefully have a good comparison point against the tasty pumpkin pie I've always known.

Do you do honey at all?

Do you do honey at all?

Maple syrup tastes better for pie in my opinion.

I'll use honey for other things, though. Some vegans don't eat honey, but I'm more a vegan for health and for self-discipline rather than out of morality. I have no qualms about eating meat or animal products, just choose not to. Honey though I don't have an issue with, but I never really eat it that often except occasionally to add to tea.

Brown sugar tastes better for pin in my opinion.

 

[SheHateMe]

I make it, but I don't put a lot of sugar in it. I actually put a bit of honey in it.

 

[Crono]

Brown sugar tastes better for pin in my opinion.

I find that they are both pretty good, almost interchangeable in some recipes. Can't go wrong with using both.

On a related note, I just roasted a couple of butternut squash tonight. Going to make some soup tomorrow night. :awe:

I love both Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Pies.

I've never made Sweet Potato Pie but called the restaurant whose pie absolutely rocks. They wouldn't give me the recipe, nor share the spices they use. W.T.F.?! I hope someone here will share their recipe. :biggrin:

Anywho, here's my Pumpkin Pie recipe (made from scratch; canned sucks ).

ROASTING A PUMPKIN:

Buy a pie/cooking pumpkin (they’re smaller than the huge ones for carving). Rinse, then slice in half. Scoop out all the innards like the pumpkin seeds. Place cut side down on foil-lined baking pan and bake at 375 degrees for first 20 minutes, then 360 degrees until the skin collapses (anywhere from 30-50 minutes, depending on the pumpkin’s size). Pumpkin will be tender and skin easily removed. Use food processor or blender to remove clumps. Let cool.

PIE INGREDIENTS:

1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 deep dish pie shell, thawed

Note: If you prefer a less spicy flavor, decrease the ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon each.

PREPARATION:

Thaw frozen deep dish pie shell, then bake for 10 minutes (350 degrees) to harden the crust.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter.

DIRECTIONS:

Combine ingredients (I use my mixer). Pour into pie shell. Bake pie at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then 375 degrees for the remaining time (about 30 minutes). It’s done baking when toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

If you’d like to add a streusel topping to your pies……..

STREUSEL TOPPING (makes enough for 2 pies):

3/4 cup flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into chunks
1 cup chopped pecans, optional

Mix all together. Sprinkle over pie. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then 375 degrees for the remaining time (about 30 minutes). It’s done baking when toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
