📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Gently unroll the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie plate. Flute the edges for a decorative finish.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, all purpose flour, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

4
With the mixer on low speed, gradually stir in the evaporated milk until it is fully incorporated into the filling.
5
Carefully pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 55 to ⏱️ 60 minutes, or until the center is just set (it should have a slight jiggle).
6
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least one hour. This allows the filling to set completely.
7
Move the cooled pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least ⏱️ 3 hours before serving. This pie is best served cold.
8
Slice and serve, topping with whipped cream if desired.
