This is a very easy pie to make and is just the perfect thing to have on a cold evening! It has a similar texture to pumpkin pie, and I'm sure it would be lovely with some ice-cream.
4 oz cream cheese (softened in the microwave for about 20 seconds)
2 C sweet potato (baked and mashed)
1/3 C brown sugar
1/4 C light cream
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 store bought graham cracker pie shell
vanilla ice-cream for serving
Bake about 5 sweet potatoes in a moderate oven for about 1-1/4 hour until done.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes, then peel and mash them.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Put 2 cups in a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Add the sugar, cream and beaten eggs and mix well. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla and then pour the mixture into the graham cracker pie shell.
This is a traditional Thanksgiving side dish. I love the look of it, but I have to say it's a little sweet for me, and I think I prefer just plain baked sweet potatoes with no extra sugar added. They are extremely sweet after all!
4 medium sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 C miniature marshmallow
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Bake the sweet potatoes for about 1 1-4 hours until cooked. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes and then peel and mash with a fork.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the sweet potato, brown sugar, salt and vanilla.
Spoon the mixture into a small casserole dish, and sprinkle the miniature marshmallows over the top.
Lower the temperature to 375 degrees, and bake for about 25 minutes until the marshmallows begin to brown and start to melt.
