Bake a Sweet Potato Pie That Feels Like a Hug from Grandma

all right everybody listen I'm going to be the first one to tell you happy holidays and guess what folks we making Grandmama sweet potato pie let's get it all right folks look the first thing we going to do is we're going to preheat our oven right I've already done it which is bake 350 start you can see that my oven is uh completely ready right now right so first thing I want to do is I want to get these in the inside right so let me go ahead and grab myself a fork I'm going put just a couple of holes on it and I can tell you guys I know some of y'all thinking like them are some dirty looking uh sweet potatoes but I already washed them they just have some time to dry right so I'm GNA take these just put a little bit on here got them coated got the holes in here right now I'm just going to stick these in the oven we're going to set a timer for 45 minutes and what we want to do is we just want to get these nice and soft right so after 45 minutes you know we'll check on that it might take an hour you can see like some some part of it is like super thick we just got to get it down right right now we got some you know a few more ingredients I'm using a readymade pie crust by Pillsbury love these use these actually cut these in the slits to uh you know nice little strips and I use that for my peach copper so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to get everything ready there's nothing else that I can do right now but I just wanted to get that out the way you guys we have to go ahead and get those soft all right folks so listen it took about an hour and 15 minutes for the thickness that I have so that the toothpick would just run through this now I just started peeling that I'm going to take this and just go ahead and peel the rest of this but before I do that I'm going show you guys this little trick right here let me go ahead and get myself a little bit of this Pam you know what I mean cuz we don't want nothing to possibly stick right now you guys can use those uh what would that be you guys can use one of those you know graham cracker instant crust you know that's what I normally make it out of this time I'm going to use some of this pillsberry you know what I mean cuz I've had this one sitting around for a minute so what I want to do is just put this out and roll it a little bit right just so that we can get to full coverage all right so I put a little flour you know on my counter right just so nothing to stick to it now I'm going to go ahead open this up you want to keep this in the refrigerator as long as possible I've been messing with this stuff so long I know so like the colder it is the better it is to you know to use it and you you know the easier it is oh yeah again you guys let me know down in the comment section below is this time of the year your favorite time then I put a little flow on my rolling pen and now I just roll this out all right then I'm going take this put this over here just like that until you guys look like we close to having full coverage I'm going to make just a couple of more rolls and I'm going to go ahead and call that good and then with that that flower down there on the bottom look at that right there nothing sticks now this already has been you know sprayed let's go ahead and just add this right over the top just like this now here's where you want to be a little gentle right cuz you want this to you know settle in you already know your boy get down and actually kind of like this right here you know what I mean sh smoking and grilling cooking and baking with me AB now when I have it like this now I'm just joking when I talk about you know baking I like the end result that's usually mean when I'm eating it but right now I know that if you guys have any type of way to do this better than what I'm doing I'm using my kitchen sheers right and we just going to go around it it's going to have a little bit of draw bag anyway right but this right here do it all right so when you done it should look something like this you know what I mean it's really not no rocket science you know just super easy just teaching people and giving them the confidence you know to get down and make something like this right so let me go ahead and clean up my little area and then we move on to the next all right so look I didn't want to bore you guys I just peeled you guys do it how you want to do it you know whichever way you can get it out again this is like super thick I take my kitchen shears I just go underneath the bottom and just you know cut it now the reason I went ahead and did the uh pie crust then is because when you took this out the oven it's going to be like super hot right so if you guys are blessed to have a uh a food processor you going to want to use one of these cuz look I'm going to take this let's go ahead and cut it in half right and I'mma drop this in here just like you guys see now let me go ahead and finish this one here once I'm done with this one I'm going to show you guys just how to do to get down right now I like mine to be a little bit more on the smooth side you know what I mean and in the past I've had made videos the thing is I try to finish them all same day right so when they come out of oven they looking all good but when you cut them think about that when you cut them they don't come out right only because they soft you got to like put this in the refrigerator and let this sit okay so took my gloves off oh you know what I don't know why I didn't say this but don't forget the full ingredient list is on my website smoking and Grilling with a.com and that's wi tab.com now I told you guys I'm going to be using my you know the P function right so let me go ahead and find that and then what we want to do is get this nice and smooth right so I'mma start it with this without putting nothing else in [Music] there now I'm going just take a look at it just to see where we at we starting to get smooth if you guys take a look at that right there look at that now after looking to that now you got it you don't have to make sweet potato you know pie or nothing like that out of no can you know I know people to do it I've had it and it tastes good too so I'm just adding this here nice and slow now I'm going to run this across the sides you know what I mean so I can get anything that like stuck on the side cuz I like mine like I said earlier I like mine to be a little bit on the smooth side all right so look this is nice I'm going to show you guys I guess when I take this top off here I'm going to let you guys you know do a little peek now I have a bowl right here this is for everybody that don't have a uh you know a food processor you guys can just you know work it this way you can use a hand mixer or anything of that nature right I was going to take this out and do that just for video purposes but I'm going to be honest with you if you have a food processor you can bust this out super quick right meaning I don't need to do that I take this off right here and then I add all of my ingredients in there now when it comes to the butter I'mma melt that right but I'm going just show you that I'm going to add the sugaroo y'all know what that is I'm I'm not even going to tell you you know what I mean I'm going to tell you what this is you already know that's that vanilla extract and then for my eggs let's put that in there just like that all right now that I got just about everything this will be the last ingredient right here right that is my melted butter now we just put the top on right drop him in like that and what we going to do is we going to post it just a little bit right till we get it all mixed up all right I'm going give you guys a little bit of a heads up you see this right here little avocado spray some of you guys might get it in you know uh extra virgin olive oil like it's a spray even sometime I take a little Pam and just spray it just a little bit right so just to help it you know cook along you know get a little bit of Browning and I got it some of you guys can't see that it'll Brown don't forget it's going to get hot here underneath the bottom and cook this cuz we going to put this in the oven right so I'm going to set this here now come on over here and take a look at this real quick so when I say smooth this is what I'm talking about right here you see this right here look at that that's what you guys want right all right so look this is the time you want to taste if you think that you need any adjustment but this right here is the same one that my granny made and I'm telling you it's fire right oh yeah I knew it was right just the fact that when I got it right here I can smell it I might as well go outside and change my shirt put a collar on so I can come back in here and pop [Music] it all right so you see how this came out I know y'all just like ah I can do that too AB of course you can with this recipe right here and it's probably just like the way you guys do it cuz I promise you I always found out I found this out like listen you cannot reinvent a wheel listen it's just really about getting the measurements right you know what I mean and whichever spices you like to put inside of yours you know and the mount you know but this right here is nice right here uh tastes very very good you know what I mean you guys can control your sugar all of that so I'm going to let this settle just for one second and I'mma take it back to like when I was a kid my Grandmama used to like give me stuff like this she wouldn't like clean that off she said here you go baby all right so I said let it sit here I you know tap it a couple times see if any bubbles going to come up on the top you know what I mean then we going to put it in the oven right you know we at 350° we going to put it in about for about 50 to 60 minutes right I'm going to say this I want to look at it at about 25 30 minutes and I want to look and see how my edges is you know Browning right so I'm going to get you guys the name of this I'll put it link somewhere in you know the description box or something like that I'm going show you this if you guys hadn't figured out what this is it says on here don't burn it all right so as it's getting you know hot and it's starting to brown right you put this over the top to stop it that way you won't have those burn marks on it right you see how that works but right now we just going to put that in there just like that listen what is it say hot dish ah just I don't know the name of it I've had it and use it just throughout right so let's take this that's a masterpiece right because we wanted to get it to we want this to set so I'm going to take it put it in there put it in the center and now I'm getting ready to set myself a timer for 30 minutes first all right folks look I just took it out it stayed in about an hour and 5 minutes right so as you can see I put this on I got the desired crispiness and color that I had liked so I'm going to set this here now I'm going to let this completely cool I'm going to stick it in the refrigerator and I'm going to let it you know set you know after being you know cooked and set I'm going to let it set in the refrigerator you know overnight you guys can do this also but you got to let it cool and then I say 4 hours minimum for best results overnight all right so I'll see you guys tomorrow and uh we go from there [Music] all right folks look I done cut it took pictures of it put it in the magazine everybody liked it so it's a number one bestseller right now if you guys pay attention right here look let me let me just show you this part right here obviously this piece don't fit and cover that whole thing right that's why you know why cuz look we cut the first one you know what I mean I just taste a little bit off of the knife and just devour that one right so this the one I'm going to do do on camera you know what I mean uh so let me just go ahead and put a little little whipped cream on it now you guys tell me down in the comment section below do you like whipped cream you know on your pie now I'm going go ahead look let's do it let me key the music cheers y'all ain't nothing like when you get it right folks I can make that same face for every one of these I'm going tell you I got the best job I said in a few videos but you know what I get to have the holidays a little bit early you know what I mean then for myself I cook this kind of things I bake these like pretty much year around now listen last thing the ingredient list is just right the exact measurement and I think you guys will love it for those of you guys that want to go over the top make it like super super sweet you can just add a half a cup extra of the white sugar
