¼ c butter, unsalted, softened
1 c sugar
2 c cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
3 Eggs, room temperature
¼ c brandy [I use E&J XO Extra Smooth Brandy]

1 unbaked (9-inch) pastry shell

Directions:

Step 5: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it inside the fridge for about 4 hours to overnight until set.

Step 6: Roll the dough to about 1/8-inch thick to a pie dish.

Step 7: Cut the edges and roll them. Place them inside the fridge to chill.

For the Filling:

Step 1: Prepare the oven and preheat to about 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.

Step 2: Place a small pan on the stove and turn the heat to low.

Step 3: Add the brandy right away and heat until warm.

Step 4: In a medium mixing bowl, add the butter and beat until creamy.

Step 5: Add the sugar a little at a time and beat every addition until well mixed.

Step 6: Add in eggs gradually and beat every addition.

Step 7: Transfer the warm brandy into the egg mixture as well as the nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.

Step 8: Transfer the sauce into a pastry shell.

Step 9: Place it inside the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting it in the middle.

Step 10: Serve and enjoy!
