Description

This sweet potato pie with condensed milk is so easy that even first-time bakers can master it! It has a rich texture and a delicate blend of spices.

Ingredients

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (9 inch) pie shell, unbaked

Directions

1 Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
2 While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3 Drain potatoes and place into a large mixing bowl. Add butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in condensed milk, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth; pour into pie shell.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until the surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 40 minutes. Let cool before serving.
