How To Make Sweet Potato Pie with Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
Claire Saffitz brings a brand-new Thanksgiving and holiday baking essential: a silky, deeply spiced Sweet Potato & Molasses Pie baked in her signature all-butter braided pie crust. Roasted sweet potatoes are blended with brown sugar, molasses, heavy cream, and warm fall spices, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves to create a custardy filling that’s richer and more complex than traditional sweet potato pie or pumpkin pie. Finished with a billowy molasses whipped cream, this make-ahead holiday dessert is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, Friendsgiving, Holiday gatherings, cozy fall weekends, and anyone searching for an easy, foolproof, show-stopping pie recipe. If you love flaky pie crust, classic Southern flavors, and warm spice desserts, this Sweet Potato Molasses Pie is a holiday must-bake.
