Eggnog Is The Creamy Ingredient That Elevates Sweet Potato Pie
By Jessica Fleming-Montoya
The holidays are the perfect time to make sweet potato pie, and if you want to take your go-to recipe to another level this year, add eggnog to your dessert's filling.
This creamy holiday beverage adds a unique twist to your pie and imbues it with the subtle taste of the drink, resulting in decadent and rich flavors.
All you have to do is swap the pie's traditional milk base with eggnog for a holiday-approved sweet potato pie worth fighting over.
You could also add some spices to your pastry dough or play up the vanilla flavors of eggnog by using a vanilla wafer crust instead of a basic pie crust.
You can also add a bit of rum or dark liquor to your eggnog sweet potato pie and top it with whipped cream, sugary crust scraps, nuts, ice cream, or caramel syrup.
