Notes

How to Sweeten to Taste

Sweetened condensed milk is very sweet and I use it as a substitute for both evaporated milk and sugar. If you want to add additional sugar and sweeten this to taste, you can add the eggs to the filling last.

How to Soften Sweet Potatoes

I use a pressure cooker to "boil" my sweet potatoes because it saves time, but you can boil sweet potatoes in water like I do in my southern candied yams post. Or, you can roast the sweet potatoes as Imma does in our black folks sweet potato pie.
