A sweet potato pie recipe with pecans.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pastry-lined pie shell
  • 2 cups cooked, peeled sweet potatoes
  • 4 ounces (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons brandy, bourbon, or orange juice
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 cup pecan halves

Preparation:

Prick bottom of pie crust with a fork; bake in preheated 425° oven for 12 minutes. Set aside.

Mash sweet potatoes with half of the butter (1/4 cup). Let cool. Add heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, spices, and brandy, bourbon, or orange juice. Beat until fluffy; turn into pie crust. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup butter with corn syrup and pecans; sprinkle evenly over top of pie. Return pie to oven and bake 25 minutes longer, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Serve with whipped cream or whipped topping.
