Pies are therapy to me. This is one I make for special events and holiday celebrations. The eggnog and sweet potato make a soft filling that goes nicely with the crunchy topping. —Sarah Spaugh, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 3/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • Carefully spread caramel topping over bottom of pastry shell; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, eggnog, egg, butter and vanilla. Stir in the sugars and cinnamon. Carefully spoon over caramel layer.
  • Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 30 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the coconut, flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly; stir in pecans. Sprinkle over pie.

I left out the white sugar since the sweet potatoes themselves were so sweet, and everyone said it was wonderful.

I have been making sweet potatoe pies every year for quite a few years now. I have my own recipe but was intrigued by the idea of using egg nogg rather than plain milk. So I had to try it! I must say, although I didn't follow the recipe to a tee, the results were absolutely o point an fabulous!! Best sweet potatoe pie I have ever eaten or made I my life, and I know a lot about soul food....here is my changes for the best pie ever:

2c mashed red yams/sweet potatoes

1 stick butter melted

2eggs

1 T flour

1/2 C each of light brown sugar & white sugar

1 T nutmeg ( or more )

1 T cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 C egg nogg

Blend as recipe says, pur into unasked pie crust. Foil the edges of crust and bake for one hour at 350. Done when knife inserted comes out clean!
