Not only had I not ever baked a sweet potato pie, I had never even tasted one. With the abundance of sweet potatoes filling up our CSA box this past month, I couldn't resist but lose my sweet potato pie virginity. That just sounds weird, but you get it....
I just googled a good recipe that I had all the ingredients on hand for (obviously other than the sweet potatoes) and went to town. Here's the recipe I used. I made some modifications. I used a little over a lb of sweet potatos, used 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white instead of 1 cup white, I also added two tablespoons of lemon juice and one tablespoon of flour. I also cheated and used a premade crust because I am way too lazy these days to make my own crusts. Those days I fear are long gone after having kids.....
Overall I found the recipe pretty easy to follow and it came out fine even for a newbie to this recipe. I definitely enjoyed the piece I had the next day more after it had chilled overnight.
We all loved it, complete with homemade whipped cream of course. I had to pawn off the rest to unsuspected friends and passers by to avoid eating it all myself. Mimi of course loved it, as expected.
