This Southern classic is a great alternative to pumpkin pie. The custard filling is creamier and less dense, as well as brighter in color. Top with whipped cream.

Cook's Notes

A press-in graham-cracker crust is simple to make (or buy one premade). We added ginger to complement the flavor of the sweet potatoes.

    I cheated a little and used a store-bought graham cracker crust. THAT was the only thing I wouldn't do again because the crust was not as soft as I would have liked. For the sweet potato puree, I just baked the potatoes for an hour, peeled off the skin and pureed it. It has such a wonderful, natural taste! The pie was so delicious that, every time my husband passed the refrigerator, the pie got smaller!
