Southern Sweet Potato Pie on a table next to fresh potatoes

This southern sweet potato pie has just the right amount of sugar and spice, then is baked to perfection . This pie is a staple in the South during the holidays and even takes the place of pumpkin pie on some dessert tables. Growing up my mother did not make pumpkin pie during the holidays. This was our pie of choice along with Pecan Tassies. This decadent pie is over looked many times during the holiday , but a really don’t know why . The funny thing is if you love pumpkin pies you will adore this rich and creamy pie. The opposite isn’t always true ..weird but true. I haven’t figured out if it’s a flavor or texture thing. This pie is like mashed sweet potatoes but held together slightly with a little spice, a little different from it’s holiday pie cousin. If you love the OTHER holiday pie you must check out my Pumpkin Pie Supreme, how you can make a plain pie really extra.

It is summer time and I am all about no bake desserts!!

If you have never had or made chocolate whipped cream you don’t know what you are missing . It is simply scrumptious and should be on the top of any chocolate lovers must haves. It can be used as a topping , dip or just lick it off a spoon. It is not only incorporated into the light and fluffy pie , this pie is topped off with it.
