Bite-Sized Sweet Potato Pies
Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
  • 3/4 cup evaporated skim milk
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup halved cranberries
Instructions
1
Place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan with just enough water to cover them completely.
2
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then continue cooking until it reaches the desired level of tenderness when pierced with a fork.
3
This should take approximately 5 minutes, after which the sweet potatoes are cooked through.
4
Next, drain the water from the saucepan and mash the sweet potatoes using a fork or potato masher until they reach your desired consistency.
5
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
6
Divide the pie crust into equal portions, approximately 24 pieces.
7
Form each portion into a small ball and then flatten it slightly to create the crusts for the mini muffin tins.
8
Place the flattened pie crusts into the cups of two 12-cup mini muffin tins, pressing them firmly into place.
9
Now, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with evaporated milk, egg whites, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a blender or food processor until the mixture is smooth.
10
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato filling into each pie shell, making sure to fill them evenly.
11
Place the filled mini pies in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the pies comes out clean, which should take around 10 minutes.
12
Remove the mini pies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack set up in the tins.
13
Finally, garnish each mini pie with half of a cranberry before serving them to your guests.
