Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the eggs, sweet potatoes, sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Mix well until smooth.
- Stir in chopped pecans.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until the filling is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. You can substitute maple syrup for the dark corn syrup for a different taste. If you want to lighten the pie, use only 2 eggs and add an extra 1/4 cup of sweet potato. To enhance the nuttiness, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
This Sweet Potato Praline Pie is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Serve it alongside a light salad or a slice of Cole Slaw Dressing(Makes 1-Quart) for a balanced meal. It’s also a wonderful dessert for holiday gatherings or special occasions.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. Alternatively, you can warm the whole pie in a 350-degree oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
