Question 1

How do I thicken sweet potato pie filling?

Accepted Answer

One of the most common methods to thicken sweet potato pie filling is to use flour. Flour will absorb some of the liquid from the eggs, milk, and butter, and create a firmer texture for the filling. You can add about 2 tablespoons of flour to your sugar mixture before adding it to your mashed sweet potatoes.

Question 2

Can I use fresh sweet potatoes for this sweet potato pie recipe?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Is sweet potato pie healthy?

Accepted Answer

Sweet potato pie is not unhealthy as far as pies go. Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, iron, and vitamins (like vitamin B, C, and D). They also contain antioxidants that can help protect your cells from damage. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can also have health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. However, sweet potato pie also contains sugar, butter, eggs, and cream or evaporated milk, which can add calories, fat, and cholesterol to your diet. So enjoy it in moderation.

Question 4

How do I know if my sweet potato pie is done?

Accepted Answer

You can check if your sweet potato pie is done by using an instant-read thermometer or a knife. The internal temperature of the pie should be around 175°F when it is done. If you dont have a thermometer, you can insert a knife into the edge of the filling and see if it comes out moist but clean. The center of the pie should also wiggle slightly like Jell-O when you gently shake it. If it swooshes or moves like a wave, it needs more time in the oven.

Question 5

How long should I let my sweet potato pie rest before serving?

Accepted Answer

You should let your sweet potato pie rest for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set completely and prevent it from cracking or collapsing when you cut into it. You can also refrigerate your pie overnight if you want to make it ahead of time. Just bring it to room temperature before serving or warm it slightly in a low oven if you prefer.

Question 6

When does Sweet Potato Pie expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened, store-bought sweet potato pie can be kept in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days past the printed date on the package. If left at room temperature, it should be consumed within 2 hours to prevent bacterial growth. Once opened, the pie should be consumed within 2-3 days when stored in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for up to 2 months. Homemade sweet potato pie follows similar guidelines, being safe to consume within 4-5 days if refrigerated and 2-3 days if left in a cooler part of the house, and can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Question 7

How do you tell if Sweet Potato Pie is bad?

Accepted Answer

Check the pie for any pronounced changes in color, smell or texture. If the pie develops an off smell or if mold appears, it's time to toss it. Another sign of spoilage is the pie becoming excessively soggy or the crust becoming overly hard.

Question 8

Tips for storing Sweet Potato Pie to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always refrigerate the pie promptly after serving.

• If you need to store the pie for longer, consider freezing it. Simply wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil before placing it in the freezer.

• Defrost the pie in the refrigerator overnight before serving. For a warm pie, you can heat it in a 375°F oven for about 15-20 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature.

• Try to keep the pie in the back of the fridge where it's cooler, as the front of the fridge can cause it to dry out faster.

• Keeping the pie in an airtight container can also help to extend its shelf life by preventing it from soaking up odors of other foods in the fridge.
