I thought she was fresh prince of Bellaire aunt vivian lol

[@victoriacooks185]

Me too lol

[@mindingmyownbusiness6194]

@Avery Lopez-Baines oooops lol

[@H7RandomDiscord]

RIGHT!!!!! I LEGIT THOUGHT THAT AT FIRST I WAS LIKE OMG.

[@btfulmom1]

Lol...me too. But either way, the pie looks delicious.

[@Dinckelburg]

Which one, the real Aunt Viv or the replacement?

[@hollowsparkle9646]

Titled said “Aunt Vivian” and I said Which one 😂😂 real fresh prince fans will get this.

[@MissBubblesNOLA]

The only "Aunt Viv" worth mentioning is the first one!

[@gardenofchelsea]

Elisha Johnson Right, because I only came for dark skinned aunt viv 😂😩

Wasn't she sent into Siberia or something after she went against Will Smith that one time?

[@niarahancock5099]

Elisha Johnson right that’s what I thought 😃

[@Julia-yr1dm]

The lemon extract is literally the secret ingredient in this!!!! I was mindblown when I made this pie but now the lemon is my essential when I’m making anything with pumpkin or sweet potatoes.

[@tigerlilly9038]

Shhhhhhhh girl...liiiiiiiiiiisssssen folk don't want to do it and be missing out, lol 😂

[@EmorettaRobinson]

My mother made the best sweet potato pie! I mean "thee" best! She didn't make it from a recipe. But it always ended up being enough for 3 pies. I would stay up with her until 3,4,5 o'clock in the morning while she baked red velvet cakes, 7 up cake and sweet potato pies. We would laugh and she'd share stories. She died when I was 19. I'm now in my 40's. I miss those talks. I miss hearing her laugh. I miss the sound of her voice. I'm glad I saw this video. This year I'll make this recipe. Even if it's just for me. I've tried eating pumpkin pie on 5 different occasions. It's just not the same. Sweet potato pie is where it's at! Thanks for the recipe!🙂

Ohh Sh*t . She didn't put LIQUOR 43. I Guess Cassandra won't taste the sweetness .

Y'all leave Cassandra alone 😆😆😆😆

[@neilhunter495]

Great recipe. I cooked the spices and caramelised the sugar as I melted the butter before adding to the sweet potatoes

[@wv8071]

I would partially bake my crust first so it will be cooked and firm.

[@RNR_the_SerialReader]

How long would you partially bake it for?

[@wv8071]

@@RNR_the_SerialReader 5mins or so.

[@wv8071]

@@RNR_the_SerialReader You only want to make your crust a little firm, do not cook your crust. Remember it will continue to cook while you are baking your pie. If you do not partially bake your crust, it could be really weak and crumbly when you cut your pie.

[@RNR_the_SerialReader]

@@wv8071 ok, thank you!

[@getreal4real169]

W V so do I

[@faureamour]

Flour and lemon extract? It's not how my mom makes it, but I ain't mad. I'd try it. I remember the year we had 9 sweet potato pies at grandma's house that Christmas. That wasn't even all the dessert. And someone or someone's mama stuck they foot in all of em!

[@The.Whoever]

Yep, some ppl will do orange juice instead. I heard the citric balances out all the sweetness. You can't really taste it either. Definitely give it a try sometime!

[@miapia7229]

Do you know what ingredients were used? 😫

[@MEAT_BALL_ON_PAWS]

She put butter milk in hers also i never seen that before

[@shahibermy2011]

[@krisciaflores2420]

Well, I tried this recipe yesterday baking not one but FOUR pies at the time (felt really confident lol) and I need to say that everyone was so in love with the pies, I had to hide a piece for myself, thank you Aunt Vivian! And thank you Bianca! 💙💙💙

[@sgreen4865]

wow. I haven't had sweet potato pie in decades. Probably more than 30 years. I really need to try making some. I really miss it. My grandma used to make it.

[@wondabub]

Just put the ingredients together seconds ago!!! Incredible!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@ZoeyNeighland]

We made this pie today and it was SOOOOOOO good! Thanks so much for sharing. Definitely a new tradition for our family!

[@biancafunk5661]

I'm definitely going try this! 1. Because it looks good 2. Gotta show love support another fellow Bianca. There are so few of us after all.

[@roxyd2880]

I want to make this for family Christmas so this weekend I will do a practice 1 hope it turns out like yours. Looks amazing

[@MIHI_by_Grace]

Smh nope. Brown sugar. That crust is soggy I know because she didn't even blind bake the crust. The crust will ruin a pie.

[@gwendolynmallardclewis4081]

My 9 year daughter made this for Thanksgiving and IT WAS A HIT!!! Definitely making this again soon

[@rosaazul88]

My grandma loves sweet potato pie! Now I can make it instead of buying it, to give her and my mom a break I do Thanksgiving at my house now and their going to love this thank you!!

[@legalmemories]

Nice story - my husband's family is like this they always make tons of sweets and his aunt always makes our favorite cakes, etc. Looks yummy

[@caribbeanspice19]

i decided to click on a random sweet potato pie video to see if there are any comments about Cassandra, and sure enough...😂😂😂😂😂

[@pookiewood]

I'm officially Team Sweet Potato after this! My first time making a Sweet potatoe pie and I randomly looked up a recipe. Tasty has a good track record in my house so of course I'd use this one. PERFECT Pies!! Even great Warm out of the oven! Thank you! Your Aunt Vivian has it going on!

[@sierraspeller8677]

Honestly I have been making this pie for 3 years now and I always tweak the cinnamon and sugar ration , plus I use graham cracker pie crust. Its my family holiday fave. Y'all are some haters. Its a great recipe

[@sherrells23]

Omgeeeee this is literally very similar to my meme’s pie except she used carnation milk 😍😍😍

[@latoriajones3493]

Have to use Carnation that taste cannot be replaced

[@neichathomas3539]

My grandmother uses carnation milk too 😋

[@prettybrowneyez3338]

Girl, let me tell you.... This recipe is THE 👏🏼 BOMB👏🏼👏🏼!! Twice for emphasis.... Lol!! I didn't have lemon extract and I was going to omit it, honestly. But I'm like, let's see if Auntie Vivian is onto something here...🤔 So I used lemon juice instead. And, I don't know if that was it, but my sweet potato pie is DE👏🏼 LI👏🏼 CIOUS!!! Thank you and Aunt Vivian for this recipe. From now on, it'll be our family tradition ❤️ 🙏🏼.

At Walmart in my community of black people. Walmart has a sale on pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving and Christmas for 2 dollars. A freezer just for pumpkin pies because black people prefer sweet potatoes pies 😊

Very interesting recipe and yess the lemon extract is a must!!

[@jisrael4829]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your family's recipe. I am not a baker, but your video was great instruction. This is a delicious pie. I see how one can eat an entire pie and I will!🤗

This is going in my SAVE folder for sure.

[@jnmks]

my grandma never cooked for me like they do in america 😢 she does make sweets but that's it and she doesn't do that anymore

[@AbhishekSingh-gc5op]

The lady was dancing in the end. I am convinced that the pie is good.

[@diannebennett1688]

This is the best sweet potato pie I made to date.

[@jackiecorreira8477]

Looked real good I like amount of buttermilk and of nutmeg and amount of butter all ingredients but the ratio of each are nice so I can’t wait to try it

[@safiya5652]

You can also use a whole orange and squeeze a tbsp of the juice from the orange along with lemon and vanilla extract sooo delish and also brown the butter it will give a distinct taste I promise it will taste delicious..

[@notherapylikebts9681]

I have officially watched all of your pie videos.... but it's so sad that I can't make any of them

[@todaefrances6317]

if you pay attention 2 1/2 cups of sugar was added @ 0:50 following with 1 tsp. of nutmeg then 1 tsp. of cinnamon and 12 tsp. salt

No because it’s only it’s gives it a even put the sweetness and spices from the nutmeg

[@Speakupok]

That’s her opinion but she should have the other cooks/chefs vote if it truly is the best sweet potato pie. I’m not saying it’s not good but I’m curious to know how good it really is.

[@alexz2702]

450g of sugar, 150g per pie 18.75g per 1/8th of pie

[@jond2720]

I know right, too much sugar. And then they wonder why they have the beetus.
