5. Mixing and Incorporating
Once you’ve prepared your filling, it’s time to bring it all together. Mix the ingredients until they’re well combined, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to a dense, tough pie rather than the light, airy texture we’re aiming for.
6. Baking to Perfection
Preheat your oven to the perfect temperature, typically around 350°F (175°C). Pour your luscious filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the pie in the oven and bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking!
7. Serving and Enjoying
Once your sweet potato pie is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Sit back, relax, and savor every delicious bite!
