SWEET POTATO PIE

2 cups sweet potato, cubed, boiled (25 minutes)
juice of 1/4 of lemon
1 (14oz) can Eagle Brand sweet condensed milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
sprinkle each: ginger, nutmeg, sea salt, cayenne pepper
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix cooked sweet potato with lemon until smooth. Lemon helps the potato to keep its bright orange color and brightens the flavor of the pie. Now, Add sweet milk, eggs, vanilla extract, spices, and salt into the bowl. Careful not to over season.

Bake 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, bake for an additional 35 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the center of the pie. Cool 20 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

FRESH WHIPPED CREAM - Whisk 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 Tbl powdered sugar in a round bowl until you have peaks. This could take five minutes, unless you have one of those fancy Kitchen-aide machines. Real whip cream is high in calories and can be labor intensive to make. You are really only going to eat 2Tbl at a time, but it can make a great pie="AWESOME"
