I have made this pie to share many times for many people and have been told my pie is better than the local bakery's sweet potato pie. I am a retired baker who worked at a restaurant for 18 years and love to make pies for people who enjoy desserts. Thanks for sharing this recipe, and I always give credit where credit is due, to the Food Nework. Thanks again, wonderful.

My husband and I absolutely loved this pie!!!!! I made two of them for Thanksgiving using five sweet potatoes. I did change the recipe a bit from reading other reviewers comments. First I baked the sweet potatoes for an hour and fifteen minutes at 375 degrees. After peeling them I mashed them with a fork and creamed them in a food processor, which made them really smooth and took out all of the lumps. I used 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, nutmeg, and ginger. I used 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. Instead of the evaporated milk I used 1/2 cup of condensed milk, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 3/4 cups of brown sugar, and 2 and a half teaspoons of vanilla. For the whipped topping I only changed the 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar to 1/8 of a cup. I also put the pies in a graham cracker crust. But you can taste as you go to make sure its sweet enough to your liking.
