Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Step 3
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to firm up.
Step 8
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Better Than Pumpkin Pie!
