Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 21 ounces/595 grams)
150 grams (3/4 cup) dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (177 milliliters) heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 (9-inch) premade pie crust, fully baked and cooled
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with an oven rack in the center position.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a quarter sheet pan or baking dish and roast until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Transfer to a plate and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and discard skin. Weigh the sweet potato flesh. You should have between 340 and 380 grams (12 to 13 1/2 ounces).
- Transfer sweet potatoes to bowl of stand mixer and beat with the paddle on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Kill the mixer, add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, and beat on medium-high until smooth, about 30 seconds. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the paddle and bowl. Add the cream and eggs, then beat on low speed until well-combined, about 1 minute.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl, then pour the sweet potato mixture through the sieve. Use a rubber spatula to press the filling through the sieve and strain out any sweet potato fibers; it will take some effort but is well worth it for a silky pie. Transfer to the pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake until the pie just jiggles slightly in the center and has reached an internal temperature of 165 to 175 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Serve at room temp or chill completely before slicing. Refrigerate any leftovers.
