Sweet Potato Pie

Popular dish in Southern cuisine and is often served during the fall and winter months, particularly around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This is a recipe for a quick and easy Salted Caramel Pie that requires only a few ingredients. The recipe uses a pre-made pie crust and a store-bought or homemade caramel sauce. The caramel sauce is spread evenly over the bottom of the cooled pie crust, then topped with sea salt. In a mixing bowl, heavy cream is whipped until stiff peaks form, then powdered sugar and vanilla extract are added. The whipped cream is then spread over the top of the caramel and smoothed out with a spatula. The pie is chilled in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This is a simple and delicious dessert that can be made in a short amount of time.
