Equipment

- Instant Pot Omni Plus oven (optional)
- Instant Pot Ace Plus blender or an electric mixer
- 9-inch deep-dish pie plate
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound Sweet potatoes washed and scrubbed (equals about 3 cups when softened and peeled)
- 1 can-12 oz Evaporated milk
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted or vegan butter)
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- By greasing a 9-inch pie pan, you can prepare it for baking.
- Use an almond flour pie crust, or buy one that comes with its own pie pan if you don't want to make your own.
- Easy and fast way to soften and peel sweet potatoes is to use an Instant Pot pressure cooker!
- Put the stainless-steel inner pot into the Instant Pot and fill it with water to the ½ mark.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and add them to the pot of water.
- To loosen the potato skin, close the lid of the Instant Pot (make sure the valve is up - set for sealing) and cook on high for 12 minutes.
- After cooking time has finished, allow at least 12 minutes for a natural pressure release.
- The lid of the Instant Pot can be opened by moving the valve to 'venting' and releasing any remaining pressure manually.
- Pour the hot water and sweet potatoes into a colander in the sink to drain them.
- Then, peel and discard the skin of the sweet potatoes when they're cool to the touch.
- Make sure you have 3 cups of sweet potato flesh.
- Either blend or blend with an electric mixer the sweet potato flesh, evaporated milk, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the ingredients until smooth. Prepare the sweet potato mixture and fill the pie crust.
- For a conventional oven, bake the sweet potato pie for 28-30 minutes, or for an Instant Pot Omni Plus oven, cook for 24-26 minutes, or until the pie is puffed and firm to the touch.
- Make sure the sweet potato pie cools for 30 minutes before serving.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and whipped cream on top.
- Serve this Black folks' sweet potato pie hot and enjoy!
