SWEET POTATO PIE RECIPE WITH CONDENSED MILK RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF
• REDUCE HEAT to 350ºF

Steps:

• For the pie: Preheat oven to 350ºF.In the bowl of a stand mixer combine sweet potatoes, butter, eggs, sugars, milks and spices. Beat until well combined and creamy. Roll out pie crust into 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges. Spread sweet potato filling into the pie mold. Bake on the lower oven rack for 45 to 50 minutes or until set. Transfer pie to cooling rack. Refrigerate pie at least 4 hours or overnight. For the meringue:Preheat oven to 400ºF. Scoop marshmallow fluff into one large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt and creme of tartar until foamy. Continue beating egg whites adding sugar a little at a time until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold egg whites into marshmallow fluff 1/2 cup at a time until fully incorporated. It will be sticky at first but it will become easier as you add the egg whites to the marshmallow fluff. Mound meringue on top of the center of cold pie. Spread with the back of spatula or spoon to create peaks. Place in the heated oven for 5 minutes or until meringue is lightly brown. Place on cooling rack and let meringue cool before serving. Notes: 1. Pie can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator. When ready, whip up the meringue and brown in the oven. 2. It is important that you use sweet potatoes that have been baked and not boiled. Using baked sweet potato mash keeps the potatoes from getting waterlogged, which can result in a mushy pie.Recipe adapted from Southern Living November 2001.
