Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (176.67℃)
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in a pot of water until they are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain them and let them cool slightly. Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the milk, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the edges of the crust are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice the pie and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

Roasted Sweet Potatoes: For a richer flavor, you can roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. Simply peel, cut, and roast until tender.
Store and Freeze: You can make this pie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. To freeze, wrap it tightly and store it for up to 3 months.
Versatile Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Try vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, chopped nuts, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.
Make It Your Own: Feel free to adjust the spice levels to your preference. You can also use canned sweet potato puree for convenience.
Serve Warm: To enjoy the pie warm, reheat slices in the oven at a low temperature or microwave briefly.
Easy Make-Ahead: This pie is perfect for busy holiday preparations. Bake it in advance, cool completely, and refrigerate until needed.
