1 (9 inch) unbaked pie pastry
1 lb sweet potato (about 1 large)
½ cup butter, very soft (no subsitutes)
⅓ cup white sugar (for a sweeter taste use 1/2 cup sugar)
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup half-and-half cream (or use 18% table cream)
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
12-1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

1
Set oven to 350 degrees.
2
Using a fork prick a few holes into the skin of the sweet potato, then wrap in foil.
3
Place on a small baking sheet and bake until soft and fork tender (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours).
4
Cool slightly then remove all the pulp and place in a large bowl; cool the pulp to room temperature.
5
Add in the butter, both sugars, cream, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, flour and vanilla; beat on medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth and combined.
6
Pour the filling onto the pie crust.
7
Place the pie plate on a baking sheet.
8

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
