Sweet Potato Pie

My sweet potato pie recipe includes fresh sweet potatoes roasted in the oven, which gives the pie an extra rich and yummy taste ;o)

Yield: 8-12 servings

• 1 9-inch pie crust (see Pie Crust 101 for recipe)
• 1 pound cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 cups)
• 1 1/2 cup half and half
• 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until soft. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
2. Put cooled sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth; add cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt; and continue beating until fully incorporated. 
3. Pour sweet potato mixture in pie crust and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or when tooth pick comes out clean.
