💡 For a richer and creamier texture, ensure sweet potatoes are well mashed.If hazelnut liqueur is not available, substitute with vanilla extract or omit altogether.To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it slightly before adding the filling.The pie tastes even better if made a day ahead and allowed to chill overnight.
