How do you know when a sweet potato pie is done?

Here's how to tell if your sweet potato pie is done:

Visual Cues:

* Golden Brown Crust: The top crust should be a beautiful golden brown.

* Slightly Puffed Crust: The crust should be slightly puffed up, indicating it's cooked through.

* Set Filling: The filling should be set and not jiggly in the center.

Temperature Test:

* Internal Temperature: The filling should reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). You can use a food thermometer inserted into the center of the pie to check.

Other Signs:

* Slightly Cracked Crust: A few cracks in the crust are normal and actually a sign of a well-cooked pie.

* No "Wobble" in the Center: When you gently shake the pie, the filling should not wobble excessively.

Important Note:

* Don't Overbake: If you overbake the pie, the crust may become too hard and the filling can become dry.

Tips:

* Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.

* Every oven is different, so adjust baking time accordingly.

* If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Enjoy your delicious sweet potato pie! 🥧
