Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 cups mashed)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Boil peeled and chopped sweet potatoes in water until tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth.
- Mix mashed sweet potatoes with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Roll out the pie crust into a pie pan and fill it with the sweet potato mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set.
