Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the butter and mix until it melts and is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until dissolved. Then, mix in the eggs one at a time.

Step 5

Add the milk, heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack to room temperature. The flavors will meld as it cools.

Step 9

Serve the pie as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
