[@Tynisha-y1y]

I've been coming back to this video every Thanksgiving for the past 6 years. Best sweet potato pie ever!!!

[@juliusw731]

I have been using this recipe for over a year now and everyone thinks I'm this great chef now. I have had mothers and grandmothers taste it and they ask me "Boy where did you get this recipe from?" LOL. Let's just say its well received and I make it several times a month for family and friends. Thank you.

We miss your videos. Come back!!

[@MackMomma02]

I'm glad to see this recipe video is still available. It is the best sweet potato pie in the history of sweet potato pies! Carolyn, we love your food in our house and I continue to use so many of your recipes to this day. Please come back to KZbin and bless us with your talents. Have a wonderful holiday season!

[@---om5vg]

I love you my family loves you Carolyn and we miss you I can't find anything recently from you but all your recipes are a blessing and we are very grateful they're still ♡ on KZbin

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks so much for the love I’m sending it right back to you and your family. I lost my Mom earlier this year and we’ve been taking care of my Dad. We’re doing ok and taking each day as it comes. Hug your loved ones and I appreciate you checking in on me. ♥️♥️

[@Buttercup1986_]

@@CookingWithCarolynPlease take all the time you need and care for your family as well as yourself. Caring for an ill parent is one of the hardest things you can do, I know firsthand. We lost our father due to complications of lung cancer and doctors simply not giving him the care he needed. It’s painful and exhausting almost three years later. Focus on what’s important and we’ll be here when you get back.

[@LizMcDon]

I’m getting ready to make your sweet potato pie recipe for the third year in a row. I get lots of requests from relatives for these pies. Thanks again Carolyn for the best recipe!!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks so much Elizabeth🙏🏽

[@bnellaniyah]

This is the first sweet potato pie recipe I ever liked. Never was really too big on sweet potato pie until I started making it this way. I made it even easier by putting all the ingredients in a high speed blender on the batter setting. Thumbs way up😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@goagray5]

This recipe is it! I've done this one several times over and have shared to others who are trying to make sweet potato pies for the first time😊

[@queenofshalom9948]

Carol and I have been cooking for years and learning from others and I never had anyone to share the tips on keeping the pie crust flat and crispy not soggy thank you so much for that tip

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

+anita lawson Oh yeah, my family didn't do that so I started blind baking my crust first and that eliminated that soggy crust.

[@Quayb24]

I’ve been using this recipe for 2 years now and when people ask me who taught me how to make this I tell them my aunt Carolyn 😊 thank you for this recipe ❤️

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks so much! You're welcome Niece Synquis :)

[@waynec9576]

Carolyn, you are my go-to when it comes to so many recipes. Must respect to you!!

[@samplelov2870]

[@theflyinhawaiiantravels354]

The best cook yet!!! Easy and simple. All the others talk too much!!!!

[@tinaosborne04]

Complete agree! This is why I keep coming back to her page. She gets to the point and her recipes make delicious food!

[@danalynnolds1670]

Wow the tip regarding the strings makes such a difference in my pies. THANKS for sharing! Happy Holidays, may GOD continue to bless and keep you, fondly, Dana Dane

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks so much Dana :D

[@a.jackson5892]

Yess hunny, gotta get the strings, I continued to watch after I saw you get those strings, exactly what I do. I always check different sweet potato pie recipes, to make sure I'm not missing something. Blessings!

[@shantajeffries7423]

[@TheMrsshantel]

Shanta Jeffries where my pie lol

[@shebad10]

This is my favorite pie no matter what time of year. But Carolyn a "culinary beat down?!" I'm weak! LOL!!! TFS!!!

[@AmazingFacts256]

I made my first pie ever using this recipe & the result was amazing! A delicious, moist, stringless pie that my finicky husband loved. Thanks!

[@charlotteherring5973]

I have cooked southern/country since I was child and enjoy cooking. I am loving your recipes and your presentation! would love to have a cookbook of your recipes!!!

[@christalwordlaw-westfield8909]

This is the best recipe ever! It's the only one I used and it comes out perfect ever time😊 Thank you Carolyn!

[@shalaynabanks]

This was the BEST sweet potato pie I’ve made. Everyone loved it for Thanksgiving🤩🤗. I’m about to make two for Christmas!

[@tr8086]

Just made 6 pies My Family flipped when they tried them!! Thank You!!!! My Wife was shocked lolol

[@aaliyahsahadat5541]

tried this recipe and it made the best sweet potato pie i’ve ever tried. all the spices combined beautifully & the condense milk added a velvet texture. definitely will be making for the holiday season. thank you! 💕

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

You’re welcome Aaliyah! Thanks for giving the recipe a try😉

[@ccsngr]

I found your recipe a couple of years ago and it's been my go-to sweet potato pie ever since. Easy to make and very good.

[@princesswaring2911]

This will be my 3rd year making your pies my family loves them thanks for sharing your recipes.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Wow! Thanks Princess. Tell them I said "Hello!"

[@FLO1980.]

I come here last few years. My family love this recipe!! Thank you 😊

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Glad to see you Florisha 💕

[@deb8911]

Another thanksgiving another return to the greatest YT channel

[@TheMerriell]

Your presentation is awesome..you make your pies the same way that I do..evaporated milk and condensed milk..I get strings out but I eat them..good fiber

[@MsRose00]

I've never baked one from scratch on my own. Will definitely be using this recipe.

[@LizMcDon]

I made this pie yesterday and it is absolutely delicious! My mother used to make Sweet Potato pie and I didn't like it. I took out the strings like you showed and with the spices and other ingredients you have in your recipe, I now like Sweet Potato pie. My husband says it's better than Costco's pumpkin. Surprised to hear that as I think that is the best pie ever. Thanks Carolyn for sharing your recipe with us.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Well alright then Elizabeth I'm glad I got you liking some Sweet Potato Pie. See it's not so bad :D

[@MomCheeto4]

Thank you, Carolyn! I've watched many videos of folks making sweet potato pies and thus far you are the only one who demonstrates how to get those strings out which can ruin your pie!

[@susiehaynes2277]

I'm trying this recipe tonight!! Can you please tell me how you store them? Fridge or counter?

[@shaneicewilliams1520]

I’ve been using this recipe for the last 4 years now and it’s always a WIN!!

[@andreawatkins7145]

All of Carolyn’s recipes are amazing ..I just love her ❤

[@amcfordgmail.comMrsMichael1]

Carolyn, thanks for educating folks about the strings in their pies. I loved the peach cobbler recipe. The bomb girl! !! I subscribe to you

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

+amcford@gmail. com MrsMichael1 Thanks so much Hun. Yeah this is a no string zone over here LOL!

[@DivoGo]

Culinary Beat Down! Love. It.

[@TheKamazing1]

Hi Carolyn! I just wanted to personally thank you for this recipe!! I substituted the yams for sweet potatoes but this was the absolute best pie I've ever had! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

TheKamazing1 You're welcome Sweetie! Thanks for giving it a try :)

[@cat40zay16]

I just wanted to share some information with you: Yams are grown in West Africa, Asia and the Caribbean and are much larger than the sweet potato and has a tougher skin. In America are ONLY sweet potatoes, unless you shop at a specialty/organic grocery store. The chances of any American going to the store in America to buy yams, is slim to none. Happy baking/cooking!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

You're right. In most of our American stores I tend to find Yams more than I ever find sweet potatoes. One thing is for sure, they are all SWEET POTATOES they're just different varieties. No worries and that's why I said that because I wanted people to know that either one will work for the job. I welcome all varieties of the sweet potato :)

[@akiva593]

you are absolutely correct, they are both sweet potatoes, one is considered to be firmer and the other softer, I am thrilled to find a video like yours that actually uses the one my grandmother uses to make her pies, this is after searching a thousand videos. And you know that there are different varieties. That's all I needed. You got me. I subscribed. Now I'm about to try this recipe. You have to be the first I've seen to use ginger. Can't wait.

[@samaramolix-marshall4452]

You are so right! Yams and sweet potatoes are completely different plant. Many grocery mislabel sweet potatoes as yams, which adds to the confusion. I only see yams in African and Caribbean grocery stores.

[@ChrisannaDaye]

Thank you for this! I know some folk that make stringy sweet potato pie! I have made it several times and they have never had the stringy texture. Now I know why. I use the hand mixer.

[@Junemccalla]

This is a recipe I trust and like you said, very simple. Thank you!

[@Marinerdiva1]

This recipe took me back home to the kitchen of my deceased grandmother in whom I miss VERY VERY MUCH god bless your heart thanks for the wonderful memories.

You can truly cook! Other than my mom (who was an awesome cook), you are THE ONLY person who has discussed getting rid of the strings. My mother used a ricer, which mashed the sweet potatoes but also captured the strings. In addition to your instructions being similar to my mom's, they're very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your recipes, especially your Sweet Potato Pie! I never learned to make my mom's, and my sister that did know passed away in April. Thank you again. You are awesome!

LET ME TELL YA'LL MY FAMILY WENT CRAZY. EVERYBODY WAS FIGHTING OVER MY 3 PIES IT WAS SO GOOOD. I'M ABOUT TO GO BACK TO THE STORE AND GET SOME MORE POTATOES AND MAKE SOME MORE PIES!!! EXCELLENT RECIPE CAROLYN!! THANK YOU

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Hi Sweetie! Let me give you a tip. I had to do this once I started making these pies in 30 lb batches. After you let the sweet potatoes cool, you can use a food processor to blend or pulse them until they are smooth. It only takes a few seconds. The method in the video is good for folks that don’t have a processor but give it a try and see what you think. Thank you for letting me know how much everyone loved the pies. ❤️

[@nscales20]

@@CookingWithCarolyn will do, Carolyn. I have a food processor and I will use it today when I make my next batch of pies. Thanks 🙏🏾

Loved your recipe. It was on point for the measuring. The flavors as you indicated makes for a warm spice winter treat. Do you have any salt free seasonings. Because of health issues I am limited on my salt intake. If you don't that would be a great option to add to your popular seasonings. God bless and thanks for sharing. Oh by the way I put a spin on your recipe and baked them in Keebler Ready Crust: Graham. I use the one that state on the package 2 extra servings. My former friend had me caught on to this idea.
