  • 1 whisk

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper (optional)
  • 1 rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes Approximately 2 large sweet potatoes.
  • ¾ cup brown sugar Packed.
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter Melted.
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning Can adjust according to heat preference.
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • ¼ cup dark rum For glaze.
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar For glaze.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, coconut milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Add the Jamaican jerk seasoning, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pre-made pie crust, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and slightly puffed.
  • While the pie is baking, prepare the rum glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the dark rum and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Once the pie is out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the rum glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

You can adjust the level of jerk seasoning according to your heat preference.
This pie can be made a day in advance; just store it covered at room temperature.
