4 med. sweet potatoes3 eggs, lightly beaten 1/3 cup sugar ¼ tsp nutmeg ¾ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp ground allspice ¼ tsp salt 1 tsp grated lemon zest (optional) 1½ cups whipping cream 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted & cooled 1 unbaked 9” pie crust, chilled

Preheat oven to 400. Roast sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in oven until soft, about 30-45 mins. Poke with knife to ascertain doneness. Let cool, peel, & mash in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, sugar, spices, salt, lemon zest & cream in a bowl. Add to sweet potatoes & mix thoroughly. Don’t overmix , as there should be some texture to the potatoes, though not necessarily lumps. Add butter & mix well. Pour into pie crust & bake for 45-55 mins until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely before serving. If you like, garnish with whipped cream.
