    • 🍠 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • 🍚 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • 🌰 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2

Bake sweet potatoes until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool until easily handled.

3

Peel and mash sweet potatoes. Make sure all lumps are removed, straining if necessary.

4

Lightly beat eggs. Blend together eggs and sweet potatoes. Stir in sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend in cream. Pour into pie shell.

5

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge of pie comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.

6

Make the caramelized pecan topping. Combine butter, brown sugar, and pecans. Gently drop by spoonfuls over cooled pie to cover top. Broil 5 inches below heat until mixture begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Cool on rack.
