  • See my recipe for homemade almond flour pie crust, or you can use a store-bought pie crust, dough, or pie shell that may or may not come with its own pie pan. Grease the pie pan, place the uncooked pie crust in it, and set it aside.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and roast the sweet potatoes on it for 40 minutes or until tender. 
  • Remove the cooked potatoes from the oven, and once they're cool to the touch, peel and discard the skin.
  • Gather 3 cups of sweet potato flesh.
  • Add the sweet potato flesh, condensed milk, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to a large bowl.
  • Mix with a hand-held or stand electric mixer until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
  • Pour the sweet potato filling into the pie crust.
  • Bake the sweet potato pie at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until the pie is puffed and firm in the center. (Keep in mind, that oven temperatures will vary the cooking time.)
  • Allow the sweet potato pie to cool for at least 4 hours before slicing, then serve and enjoy!
