Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb dark-orange sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-large)
  • 1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon or 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place sweet potatoes on cookie sheet. Roast 1 hour or until tender. Cut potatoes in half. Scoop out pulp into medium bowl; discard skins. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • 2
    Place pie crust in 9-inch deep-dish pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Beat sweet potato pulp with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add remaining ingredients; beat 1 minute or until well blended. Pour filling into crust-lined plate.
  • 3
    Bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 1 hour on cooling rack; cover loosely and refrigerate before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a special dollop on top of each slice of sweet potato pie, fold flaked coconut into whipped cream.
  • tip 2
    For best results use a heat-resistant glass pie plate or dull aluminum pie pan. Shiny or disposable pie pans reflect heat and prevent crusts from browning, dark pans absorb heat, causing over-browning and nonstick pans can cause crusts to shrink.
  • tip 3
    To soften chilled butter, cut into small pieces and leave at room temperature. A faster method is to microwave it at 5-second intervals checking frequently to ensure the butter is softened but not melted.

More About This Recipe

  • There is a debate among orange-hued pie lovers, one that’s been raging on for decades, which pie is the superior Thanksgiving pie: Pumpkin or Sweet Potato? Whichever side of the pie plate you fall on, this Roasted Sweet Potato Pie recipe is worth a try. Light and airy in texture, roasted sweet potato pie is typically sweeter than pumpkin. At the same time, it’s packed with all kinds of high-quality nutrients — thanks to those sweet potatoes. This sweet potato filling is more of a puree than a custard. It’s lighter on the spice and has an all-around smoother texture. And when tucked inside a scratch-made pie crust, it’ll be hard for your guests to pass up a second slice. If you are a fan of this traditional Southern dish, you’ll love perusing Betty’s collection of sweet and savory sweet potato pie recipes.
