Reviews
I loved my results but definitely made a few adjustments to this basic recipe. I needed 3 sweet potatoes (hearty size) for a full pie. Definitely added sugar (combo of brown and white) and used vanilla flavored almond milk with a bit of heavy cream. I used only 2 eggs. My family loved it and said it was not too sweet. The pie should jiggle slightly in the middle when done and sit for several hours to solidify. Actually, it tasted even better the next morning.
Wonderful recipe !
It was easy to make and delicious! I’ll be using this recipe in the future.
It was great.
I added 2cups of squash and it is lovely.
VERY GOOD AND EASY TO MAKE
Extremely good recipe. I did add 1/2 cup sugar to sweeten the pie and omitted the clove as I find clove a strong spice which I personally don’t care for. Definitely a fan favourite in our house!
We did not enjoy this at all. There was no sugar or vanilla in this recipe. I always make a recipe to specs the first time but I will stick to my regular recipe before trying this again. By adding all the liquid in at once Mabee it difficult to get the smooth texture that I wanted.
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. I have made many a sweet potato pie and this one is going to replace any recipes I have used before. I did add 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white sugar. But I plan on trying it with no sugar. And I think the best way to add the sweet potato is to bake it just like you would a regular baked potato with the skin on.
I didn’t notice that there was no sugar in this! I used about twice as much spice – accidentally – and leftover mashed sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving dinner. I thought it was wonderful. I used a no-roll pie crust recipe that I found here, too. (didn’t have any shortening in the house) I really liked this pie and will make it again. We ate it warm, with vanilla yogurt, for breakfast. This could become our Day-After-Thanksgiving breakfast tradition.
I too am surprised anyone would blindly make this without adding sugar, although I’m not convinced that the ommission of sugar by Lisa was an accident. That said, I would never, ever use canned sweet potatoes to make this pie or any pie. Nor would I boil them. I bake mine to maximize the natural sweetness and flavor that sweet potatoes (actually Yams) are famous for. Yes, it’s more of a hassle that way but if I was only after convenience then I’d buy a ready-made pie instead of making my own. I added the sugar amounts suggested by diab96 and also added more clove and less nutmeg than the recipe calls for. Not quite a complete swapping of the two amounts but about halfway inbetween that and what the recipe calls for. Sorry, no exact measurements. I tend to wing it and forgot to write down the precise amounts. I also added 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (real, not the fake stuff).
I wonder if she meant to use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk? That would add the missing sweetness.
I think she forgot to put sugar down as an ingredient. I use 1/3 cup dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar and some lemon zest and it turns out wonderfully.
Quick, easy, delicious. This pie tastes like sweet potatoes, not corn syrup. Some people will find this too much of a contrast to their normal high-fructose diet. I found it perfectly lovely!
basic concept is good..I added 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup white sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla
Lisa H. must have forgotten the sugar ingredient, and I can’t believe anyone would make this blindly without sugar then rate it poorly. Add 2/3 cups of sugar and 1/3 cup of brown sugar and it is one of the best and easiest sweet potato pie recipes I have ever made.
I didn’t exactly like this. It didn’t have any sugar in it and I could tell. I will not make this recipe again.
I have compared all 4 sweet potatoe pies nutritional value. I am looking for more of a side dish then a dessert. I think this may be the one. Less (no) sugar is best for us older adults watching our weight, but I hear your reviews about the abscence of sugar…..I want to taste the sweet potato not the sugar. Will let you know…..
It’s funny reading the reviews — people either hate or love this recipe. I enjoyed it. I did add 1/3 cup sugar bc I was making it for a birthday party and didn’t want to disappoint the sweet tooths. Next time I will make it without sugar, though, bc I prefer things a little less sweet when the flavor is so good otherwise. I also used unsweetened rice milk bc there’s a dairy allergy in my family, and that probably added a bit of extra sweetness.
I was looking for a simple recipe for sweet potato pie for my husband and when he tried it he said it wasn’t good. I noticed when I was making it that it didn’t call for sugar but thought, hey maybe it is sweeter than pumpkin which does call for sugar. I was very disappointed when my efforts failed due to a recipe that lacked a little umph.
Today is Thanksgiving and I made 3 of these pies for my family. My husband and I sampled the pie and we did not like it. We did not care for this recipe.
