Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Pie with Condensed Milk:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a rack in the center position so the pie bakes evenly.
2️⃣ Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain and mash until smooth—measure out 2 full cups for the filling.
3️⃣ Make the Pie Filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together:
✔ Mashed sweet potatoes
✔ Sweetened condensed milk
✔ Eggs
✔ Vanilla extract
✔ Cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
(And brown sugar if using!)
Mix until silky and fully blended.
4️⃣ Fill the Pie Crust:
Pour the mixture into your unbaked 9-inch pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection:
Bake at 350°F for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out clean.
The top may puff slightly and settle as it cools.
6️⃣ Cool & Serve:
Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
Serve chilled or at room temp with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

FAQ About Sweet Potato Pie with Condensed Milk:
Can I use canned sweet potatoes?
Yes—just drain and mash well. You’ll need 2 cups.
Can I use evaporated milk instead?
Not for this version. Sweetened condensed milk adds sugar and texture—don’t substitute unless adjusting other ingredients.
Can I freeze it?
Absolutely. Let the pie cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic and foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Common Problems and Fixes:
Pie cracks on top?
Slight cracks are normal! Cover with whipped cream or powdered sugar if needed.
Too soft in the center?
Make sure it’s fully baked—center should no longer jiggle. Add 5–10 more minutes if needed.
Watery texture?
Use well-drained mashed sweet potatoes—extra moisture can make the filling runny.
Flavor Variations You Can Try:
- Pecan Crumble Topping: Add a brown sugar + pecan streusel on top before baking.
