Black Folks Sweet Potato Pie Recipe 🥧

🥄 Instructions

  1. Prepare crust:
    • Mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough comes together.
    • Roll out and fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill while preparing filling.
  2. Make filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat mashed sweet potatoes until smooth.
    • Add sugar, spices, and salt, mixing well.
    • Beat in eggs, vanilla, and evaporated milk until creamy and smooth.
  3. Assemble pie:
    • Pour filling into prepared crust. Smooth the top.
  4. Bake:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
    • If the crust edges brown too fast, cover with foil.
  5. Cool & Serve:
    • Let cool completely (or refrigerate) before slicing.
    • Serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.

🍴 Tips:

  • For deeper flavor, roast sweet potatoes instead of boiling.
  • You can add a tablespoon of bourbon or maple syrup to the filling for a special twist.
  • Sweet potato pie tastes even better the next day—flavors meld beautifully!
