[CADEMOCRAT7]

I have this on another post. We are having this really easy, and really yummy Sweet Potato Pie on Nov. 4th to celebrate with champagne, and will put our flag out once it is announced that Obama is our next president ! The champagne we are having actually stated "flavors of pie crusts" ! We thought perfect with our pie !!! OBAMA !!!!!
Preheat oven to 400. (I buy all organic ingredients for below and use sea salt.)
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 unbaked 10-inch pastry shell
whipped topping ( i like to make from fresh cream)
Combine sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, egg yolks, spices, and salt in a large mixing bowl; beat until light and fluffy. Add evaporated milk; beat until blended.
Beat egg whites ( at room temperature ) until foamy; gradually add sugar, 1 tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into potato mixture. Pour filling into pastry shell. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 45-50 minutes or until set. Cool.
Top with whipped cream.
