Prepare Sweet Potatoes
Begin by preheating our oven to 375°F. Wash and poke holes in the sweet potatoes. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes until fork-tender. Allow them to cool before peeling. -
Mix Filling
In a large mixing bowl, mash the roasted sweet potatoes until smooth. Add sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until evenly combined. Then, add heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-blended. -
Assemble the Pie
Preheat our oven to 350°F. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly at the bottom of the pre-made pie crust. Pour the sweet potato filling over the pecans, ensuring an even layer. -
Bake
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. We know the pie is done when the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step allows the flavors to meld perfectly. Slice the pie and serve it as is or with a dollop of whipped cream.
