Mmmmmmm mmm… how else can you describe this Sweet Potato Pie Recipe? There’s nothing quite like a slice of Sweet Potato Pie with Graham Cracker Crust! It’s got a taste all it’s own and the graham cracker crust pulls the whole sweet experience together! (alright, the candied whip topping helps too!) If I’m in a rush I’ll grab a keebler graham cracker crust and save myself a little bit of time. Either way you and your family are going to be thrilled with this southern treat!
Sweet Potato Pie Recipe
In my book Sweet Potato Pie is soul food! I guess my love of sweet potato pie began back when I lived in Texas twenty years ago. . . I’d never even heard of it or tasted it before then and NOW it’s a favorite comfort food of mine! Plus, I just adore everything sweet potato so there’s that too!

• 1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cloves
How to make Sweet Potato Pie Recipe:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a cookie sheet, bake 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until very soft. Cut in half length wise, scoop out flesh with a spoon.
• Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Place graham crackers in a blender and pulse until fine crumbs. Add the butter, sugar, and half the salt. Pulse until moistened. Press mixture into 9 inch pie pan with a flat measuring cup. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until dry and set. If crust puffs while baking gently press back down.
• Wipe out the blender and combine sweet potato, condensed milk, spices, 1/4 tsp salt, and process until smooth. Don’t over process. Pour mixture into crust and bake until set in the center. Test with a light touch and remove when firm, approx. 45-55 minutes.
Candied Whip Topping
1 C whipping cream
2 almond roca pieces
Whip the cream until still peak, mince or chop finely the almond roca pieces. Gently fold into whipped cream and serve a dollop (as Gram always called it) on each piece of pie!
