Recipe Success Tips

You can make your own pie crust for this recipe, but I've found that when I'm starting to make pies, it's nice to have the crust already done.
If you're planning to serve this pie recipe for Thanksgiving, I recommend making it a day in advance.

TIP: Pop leftover Sweet Potato Pecan Pie for 45 seconds into the microwave. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream (this is my favorite canned whipped cream) and a side of vanilla ice cream. YUM!

How long does Sweet Potato Pecan Pie last?

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and store the pie for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. When you're ready to serve the leftovers, simply remove the pie from the fridge and allow it to reach to room temperature.
