Method
- Preheat the oven to 180c (fan oven)
- Pierce the sweet potatoes with a knife and place them on a baking tray. Bake for 45 – 60 minutes or until they are very soft. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Roll the pastry and line the pie tin with the dough, using your fingers to crimp the edges to create your desired pattern. Then using a fork you’re going to poke holes into the bottom of the pastry then line with parchment and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake the pie crust for 15-20 minutes.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and mash them in a bowl until they reach a smooth consistency. You can also use a blender for this. Combine with the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Using a whisk, mix until everything is well combined and pour the mixture into the pie crust.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until the pie is well set and doesn’t wobble. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
- Serving Suggestion – serve with freshly whipped cream as a topping.
