My mom has been making this Sweet Potato Pie for YEARS. I honestly cannot remember a single Thanksgiving without it, and I’m grateful for that. This is probably the one desert I look forward to the most. Pumpkin pie, who?! Never in my home. I like this pie best when it has been chilled in the refrigerator after cooking, with a dollop of whipped topping. Cool whip, Reddi Whip, I don’t care. Give it all to me! This pie is thick, rich, creamy… honestly everything you could ever ask for from a dessert. A perfect combination of fall spices and buttery goodness. It’ll be tempting to finish one of these pies all on your own, but try to share the love this holiday season. I hope you enjoy it!
