Mississippi Sweet Potato Pie

By Lorraine

So good! Better than pumpkin pie in my opinion. Mississippi Sweet Potato Pie is amazing and so easy to make.

 Mississippi Sweet Potato Pie

PRINT RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
4 ounces butter, softened
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
2 cups granulated sugar
1 small can (5 ounces, about 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 8 or 9-inch prepared pie shells, unbaked

Whipped cream (optional)

DIRECTIONS
In mixer bowl, cream butter, potatoes, sugar and evaporated milk until well blended. Add vanilla, eggs, and cinnamon; mix well. Pour into the prepared pie shells. Bake in a 350° oven for about 1 hour, until set. Cool.  Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
To cook sweet potatoes, wash, dry and prick with a sharp knife. Place on a foil-lined baking pan and bake @400F for 45-60 minutes until very tender. Allow to cool and the jackets will slip right off.

    OMGOSH- That sounds delicious, Lorraine. I have not had sweet potato pie in years and years and years. I always thought it was as good as pumpkin pie, too. Thanks for the recipe! xo Diana
