A simple sweet potato pie recipe that’s deliciously spiced with classic fall spices and spiked with a kick of bourbon.
After recently baking my boozy banana bread, I decided to stick with my boozy baking by adding some bourbon to this sweet potato pie recipe. The bourbon added a depth of flavor to an already flavorful pie, making this sweet potato pie bourbo-liciously delicious.

Quick Easy Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie In One Bowl
Yes, I said “one bowl”. It was crazy, I literally dumped all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisked them together. I then put the batter in two pie shells, which I’m ashamed to say I bought instead of made (I call this simply deLIZious cheating) and put them in the oven. Can you say quick sweet potato bourbon pie? Easy, Peasy!
How To Prepare Sweet Potatoes For Pie
How you prepare the sweet potatoes doesn’t matter, just as long as they are well mashed or creamed together and there are no strings (strings from the sweet potatoes) attached.
Here are four ways to prepare your sweet potatoes for this simple sweet potato pie (I used 1 large and 1 medium sweet potato):
- Boil Sweet Potatoes – Boil the sweet potatoes whole for 30 – 45 minutes until they’re tender. Drain the sweet potatoes, run them under cool water and remove the skins.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes – Heat oven to 400F. Place sweet potatoes on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake 1 hour or until tender. Remove skins or cut sweet potatoes in half and scoop out pulp into a medium bowl.
- Crockpot Sweet Potatoes – Wrap each potato in aluminum foil. Bake on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Remove skins or cut sweet potatoes in half and scoop out pulp into a medium bowl.
- Microwave Sweet Potatoes – Set sweet potatoes on a microwave safe plate and poke several times with a fork. Microwave on high 8 to 10 minutes, until they are extremely soft. Cool and remove skins.
How To Freeze Sweet Potato Pie
This sweet potato bourbon pie and all sweet potato pies freeze very well (I think this pie might even taste a little better after serving some freezer time). The ability to freeze well allows for baking ahead of time and it allows for freezing any leftovers (why throw any calories away when they can just go to your hips next week?).
Freezing sweet potato pie is easy. This post from Southern Living tells us exactly how to freeze it.
- Pie should be thoroughly cooled.
- Wrap the pie in several layers of plastic wrap.
- Wrap with a layer of aluminum foil over the plastic wrap for added protection.
- Freeze the pie for up to a month.
