Layered Cream Cheese-Sweet Potato Pie
Instructions
Prep:25min
Sweet potatoes get an upgrade from side dish to dessert, when they are used to make a sensational pie. Made with your fresh sweet potatoes that are cooked until tender and mashed. The potatoes are sweetened with sugar and aromatic spices are added, including ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to give this pie its old-fashioned flavor. Though many think of pumpkin pie when they think of Thanksgiving, this pie is an equally delicious cousin that steals the show in many households in America. Like pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie is usually served during the fall and winter, when sweet potatoes are boasting their best flavor and texture. Sweet potato pie is typically sweeter and has a milder flavor than pumpkin pie. The texture is airier and lighter than pumpkin pie, as it is made with fresh sweet potatoes. Pumpkin pie, made with canned pumpkin, has more of a dense, velvety texture. This best cream cheese-sweet potato pie is like getting two pies in one! Our frozen deep dish pie crust captures all the fillings without the need to make your own crust, while still baking up just as tender and flaky as if you did. Two distinct layers of filling create the most attractive and satisfying pie a fork ever dove into. The bottom filling layer is simple to make, with just cream cheese and a few other ingredients. It’s a creamy, luscious cheesecake-like layer with a hint of fresh orange. Next, a sweet and spicy sweet potato layer is made using your fresh sweet potatoes mixed with just the right blend of spices and orange. It’s a knock-out combination that looks and tastes like you got it from an upscale bakery.
