Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes, about 10 ounces each
  • 1 3/4 cups fine graham cracker crumbs (about 15 whole crackers, finely ground)
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Wrap the sweet potatoes tightly in 2 layers of aluminum foil and roast them in the oven until very soft, about 1 hour and 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

In a bowl, stir the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar until well combined. Add the butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press firmly and evenly on the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate to create a crust, being sure there are no cracks. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, make the filling: Unwrap the potatoes and peel them. Put the flesh into a bowl and mash well with a fork. Add the eggs, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cream, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and whip until very smooth with a whisk. Pour the filling into the partially baked crust. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon brown sugar over top and bake in the center of the oven until set, about 40 minutes.

Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting. Serve at room temperature.

    This recipe is definitely a winner! I made it this past Thanksgiving without a trial run at all. (After watching the video, it looked so simple that I didn't think I needed one. It was a homerun at dinner! Everyone loved it and even made requests for it the morning after Thanksgiving as breakfast. This pie recipe should certainly be in your pie recipe stash.

    This was super easy and super tasty! I accidentally used golden brown sugar instead of dark brown and it still tasted fine. Paired it with Sandra Lee's Brown Sugar Whipped Topping, to die for! Only reason I didn't give it a 5 was I baked it for as long as instructed and it was still too soft, had to go 10 minutes longer.

    (recipe for topping so you don't have to search
    For Brown Sugar Whipped Cream:

    1 cup heavy whipping cream
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    (I used cinnamon instead of the pumpkin pie spice for this dish
