Sweet Potato Pie Dessert

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

• ⅓ cup light brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 large sweet potato, cooked and mashed (about 1 cup)

• ½ cup evaporated milk

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven

   • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.

2. Prepare the filling

   • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the butter and brown sugar for about 3 minutes, until light and creamy.

   • Add the egg, orange juice, and honey. Beat for another 2 minutes until fully combined.

   • Mix in the mashed sweet potato and evaporated milk until smooth.

   • Add vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat just until all ingredients are incorporated — avoid overmixing.

3. Assemble the pie

   • Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

4. Bake

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

   • If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

5. Cool and serve

   • Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

   • Serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey if desired.
