Sweet Potato Pie Bars

Sweet Potato Pie Bars are a fun take on the classic Southern dessert. A creamy, spiced sweet potato filling sits on a buttery crust, baked in a rectangular pan and sliced into easy-to-serve squares.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 pre-baked pie crust

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.
  • Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and evaporated milk. Stir until smooth.
  • Add eggs and spices: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Assemble and bake: Pour the mixture over the pre-baked crust, spread evenly, and bake for 40–45 minutes until set.
  • Cool and slice: Let cool completely, then cut into squares. Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
