Notes
For an alcohol-free version, replace the bourbon with additional heavy cream or with maple syrup.
For a smoother filling, put the cooked sweet potatoes through a potato ricer before mashing.
Top pie marshmallows, meringue, or whipped cream for an added touch of sweetness. For a marshmallow or meringue topping, toast with a kitchen torch or in a broiler. Make a maple whipped cream by adding 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup to heavy whipping cream and beating until stiff peaks form.
Allow the pie to cool completely to room temperature. Bringing down the temperature too quickly by cooling it in the fridge or freezer may cause the pie filling to crack. If it does crack, cover them with a topping!
