It is tradition, that Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, and Apple Pieare the most popular desserts around the holidays. However, in my household, “must-have” Thanksgiving dessert is Sweet Potato Pie. I had it every holiday growing up and I assumed it was on the dinner and dessert tables of every family in America for the holidays until there was a holiday pot-luck at my current job some years back. Some of my co-workers and I were discussing what we were going to bring to the pot-luck.

After discussing several options, it was soon discovered that most of the people who I worked with never heard or HAD Sweet Potato Pie. I am not kidding when I tell you I thought it was a joke or something. Nope, it was true. Sweet Potato Pie was unheard of in most households. After discovering that information, my decision was easy as to what I was bringing to the pot-luck.

After my co-workers tried the pie, it won some people over and the other still preferred their Pumpkin Pie and that is okay. I am a lover of Pumpkin Pie. It is almost, by a hair or two, more favorable for me than Sweet Potato Pie. But, I need you guys to know and understand how important this pie is for the holidays! I get so upset when I watch the holiday cooking shows and you hardly, if ever, hear about Sweet Potato Pie. That is so unfair to me!

If only more people knew how awesome and decadent this pie was the world would be a better place! So I am doing the unthinkable. I am sharing my recipe (for my future children) with the rest of the world. This is typically how I make my Sweet Potato Pie for my family. Wondering how good this pie is? Let’s just say that I made two pies one year and the only pie that was leftover was the pumpkin. Not kidding.

I implore you–NO

I urge you–NO

I beg of you to try this pie. I promise that you will love it and if you are already a lover of Sweet Potato Pie and need a recipe, you will love me for this recipe. This pie is the beginning of my “My-grandmamma-cooks-better-than-your-grandmomma” legacy. You’ll love it. I’m eating it straight out of the dish.
