Bake the sweet potatoes at 200°C for 45 minutes until tender.
Prepare the tart dough with the flour, butter, cold water, and salt, then chill for 20 minutes.
Spread the dough in the pan, prick the base with a fork, and prebake at 180°C for 10 minutes.
Peel the roasted sweet potatoes and mash them.
Add the milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to the mash and whisk.
Pour the filling into the crust and bake at 175°C for 35 minutes until the center still jiggles slightly.
Rest the pie for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
💡 Tip: Roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them keeps the filling from turning watery and reduces the need for extra sugar.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the slices close to room temperature with optional unsweetened whipped cream and plain Turkish coffee.
