Sweet Potato Bourbon Pie: Even Better Than Pumpkin Pie?

Desserts

Spread the love

An amazing sweet potato pie with a touch of bourbon. Think of this sweet potato bourbon pie as an elevated pumpkin pie (and some would say even better than the pumpkin pie!).

This pie is the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or just for people wanting some more sweetness in their life. Best of all, it’s really not all that much work AND a lot of the prep can be done ahead of time!

Sweet Potato Bourbon Pie Recipe

Serves 8.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy cream or half and half
  • 2 Tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 unbaked pie crust (10″, homemade or purchased)

Instructions

(You can do the first 8 steps ahead and refrigerate the filling for several days if you wish.)

1. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes about ½ inch thick slices.

2. Dress the sweet potatoes very lightly with olive oil and roast in a 350°F degree oven until they are soft and begin to brown; 30 to 40 minutes.

3. Let them cool to room temperature.

4. When the sweet potatoes are cool, place them in a food processor and run for a minute or two until they are smooth.

5. Add the melted butter, eggs, bourbon and vanilla while the food processor is running.

6. Stop the food processor and scrape down the sides.

7. Add the sugars, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

8. Run the processor until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is fluffy.

9. Preheat the oven to 450°F degrees.

10. Fill the pie crust of your choice with the mixture.

11. Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 F and bake for about another 40 to 50 minutes. The pie is done when a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

12. Let the pie cool to room temperature.

13. Serve with whipped cream or just plain for a tasty dessert.
