Move over pumpkin pie, this easy Sweet Potato Pie is amazing and has so much more flavor than pumpkin pie.
Quick and Easy Sweet Potato Pie
I know…more sweet potatoes! But I love them and I almost always have extras. Right after Thanksgiving, our friends invited us over and while the guys went hiking in the desert and the kids played outside; my friend and I ate and played around with some recipes. Lucky for me, she saved me a piece of her Easy Sweet Potato Pie.
It was wonderful! I begged her for the recipe (and I lucked out that she had taken a picture too). The pie has the same consistency as pumpkin pie, but the taste is so much better (yes, I am one of the few who don’t like pumpkin pie).
This sweet potato pie recipe with evaporated milk is from my best friend Janice, who write at Celebrating Family. She makes it every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I’m always excited when she brings me a piece.
