Just wanted to come back and say thank you for the sweet potato pie recipe🌹 I am a live-in nurse and the woman I care for is almost 103 years old, her favorite food in the world is sweet potato! I made her two pies and she absolutely loves it and can't get enough!🤗🌼🌻
I have been making this recipe for the last 3 years and I just want to SAY IT IS THE BEST!!! I literally have to make 6 pies because my family loves them!!
I made this pie recipe, and God knows, it was the best sweet potato pie I've ever eaten ! If y'all haven't tried it....please do before you leave this Earth....lol It's AWESOME!
Hey there SH22, yes, yes and more yes. I keep telling people (not because it is my recipe) but because it is so doggone good ..... Please try this recipe. It will elevate you to kitchen Rock Star Status immediately. This recipe and my smothered Chicken wings recipe on this channel also is a no fail WINNER for everyone that tries it. Thanks babe and many blessings.
I damn near cried when she said she baked the potatoes. Yaaaaaaasss!!!! I hate when people boil them, wasting all the flavor and boiling out the nutrients. These pies look so delicious. I gotta make it. Thank you so much for this video 👍👍🙌🙌
Thank you for this recipe ma’am! I’m a black woman born and raised in the Netherlands. Never tried Southern Soulfood in my life, but I’ve been watching black movies and series my whole life. I’m always amazed by the Soulfood I see on TV. Man it makes my mouth water!!!! I cant wait to try this recipe. Been dreaming about the first bite of sweet potato pie in my mouth. It will be a spiritual moment for me. Thank you so much and God bless
Oh wow, I just now watched and noticed it was 2 years ago, you were trying to get to 20,000. God has richly blessed you sweet sister, you now have over 430,000. When God blesses you, there is always proof and this is definitely proof. I will be doing this pie for Thanksgiving, thank you so much for all your delicious recipes
Omg I tried this minus the butter abstract because all the local stores were out and they were gone before I could even get a piece . My husband ate two by himself and now instead of cake for his birthday he wants sweet potato pie thank you sooooooooo much for sharing
Hi Tendria, girl I tell you that yes even without the butter extract the pie is still delicious. I love your story it's the kind that makes me so happy. Blessings.
@@MesoMakingIt my boyfriend challenge me to make sweet potato pie so I’m choosing your recipe so I been looking for butter exact everywhere so I really don’t need it?
Thanks you so much for sharing the part about baking the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. For years, I would boil them and my pies would never taste as good as my other family members. But last Thanksgiving, I tried baking them and it really made all the difference. Just came back to say thanks and encourage people to try your recipe. This recipe is the truth!👌🏾❤️💯
Who's using this recipe for 2019 Thanksgiving dinner? 🖐🏽I know I am. I used it last year and my pies were a hit. This year I'm doing it again and everyone is so excited to have them. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!
Oh my goodness, this is the best sweet potato pie recipe I have ever used. I made 3 of these tonight for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. My family was eating the pie mix from the mixing bowl. Followed your recipe exact and they came out perfect. Couldn't wait until tomorrow so we let them cool and had a slice for dessert. My husband and daughter loves these pies. I will be throwing away all my other sweet potato pie recipes. Thanks again!
Meso Making It Hello, how are you ? I'm in the process of baking this as I type. I'm so excited to try your recipe 😊 & although I'm missing the butter extract, I'm still giving it a go lol. I do have 2 questions, how did you get your presentation so beautiful, did you smooth it with a spoon or a spatula ? & Secondly should the pie crust be all the way thawed? Thank you love xoxo
How did yours turn out K Queen ....... if you don't have the butter extract your pie will still turn out well. the butter just adds a layer of down home goodness ole grandma style. I would suggest that you get it because it can be used in so so many recipes for depth of flavor. Question 1) No, but you can use a spoon or butter knife to smooth you pie out but it will really smooth itself out during the bake. 2) Yes, have your pie crust completely thawed when you bake. At 350 my oven will keep my piecrust golden brown, All ovens are different, so if yours darkens your piecrust too much then bake it longer at 325 or cover rim of pie crust with strips of aluminum foil. Thanks for watching and be blessed, Of course let me know how yours turns out. Thanks and be blessed.
Just made these pies and my childern and husband loved them. I didnt use the lemon juice just the lemon extract. And instead of deep dish I did the shallow dish pies crust. These pies came out PERFECT!!!!!
I've used this pie recipe 3 years in a row. I come back to this video every time. I do make one adjustment, it is a little sweet for my taste so instead of 4 cups of sugar I put 3 1/2 a small tweak for my personal preference but still a great recipe. One other thing I do is instead of 3 deep dish pie shells I get 2 deep dish and 2 regular to make 4 pies instead of 3!
I love you for coming back and letting everyone know. A few people question some of the ingredients but if they make it they will never make it any other way. Thanks, Justice and blessings.
OMG!! Delicious!! I doubled my recipe and used 5 cups sugar and 1 cup brown sugar. I also omitted the lemon juice and lemon extract. This is doggone delicious!!
You should not leave those 2 things out. When I tell if you enjoyed your pie without it, you're going to slap yourself when you put that lemon in there. Trust me. Been putting it in mine for years.
I use this recipe every year! It’s absolutely delicious! But, it doesn’t matter if you boil or bake the sweet potatoes. I’ve done both and the flavor doesn’t change!
I remember the Watkins. We had a salesman that would come by our home here in Texas when I was young coming up. Meso you are taking me back to the good times. Thank you so very much for taken me out of the things we going through here in Texas recently with the storm called Harvey. The house that I grow up in was floated out by the Colorado river. Everyone i heard in town had to evacuate . You can only imagine! I live in the city (Big H) but the picture i received from my home town was surrounded by a river. Seasons of life. My mother was a very great cook back in the days we did not have all the things we have today. That is why I am thankful to God! If I am making two potato pies how would I narrow the ingredient down. (No everyone I did not inherit my mother cooking skill but I am still growing to be a strong believer in God.}. Thanks Meso love your cooking channel!!!
Awwwww Sheryl, thanks for sharing a little of your history and current situation with me and everyone reading. It so touches my heart, I can't even say how much but I am sending prayers and thoughts of triumph. Baby, I wish I could cook you and you family a big old meal of goodness and make all other distress go away for just a little while. My prayers will be continuously with you my sister. Many blessings
Thank you, Meso, for your recipe! I made some sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving Day, following your recipe and EVERYBODY was saying how DELICIOUS they were! I did tweak the recipe just a tad by putting a pinch of ginger and a splash of condensed milk. I also put some eggwash on the edges of the piecrust before baking them. That Saturday after Thanksgiving, all of my family wanted to take a pie home (back to NYC) so I made 4 more pies! Then that Monday I made 4 more!! I will never used another recipe!! Thank you again, so very much!!!!! Smooches!
Lori, Lori, Lori girl you know you have made my day and you've also made my "Meso Kitchen Rock Star List!" You are the bomb! Yes, I do add powdered Ginger sometimes and the milk/evaporated milk is interchangeable. Lord, I wish I could have been there to see their faces when tasting the pie for the first time and to have seen your face when receiving all those kudos. Thank you for coming back to let me know! Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Thank you! This is the Sweet Potato Pie taste that I've been in search of since my Dear Aunt Cookie passed away, there has not been a pie to compare until now. I followed you directions and they turned out magnificent! Happy Holidays💐
Made this pie for Thanksgiving and it turned out great, will be making it again this Christmas. I always use to boil my sweet potatoes, but I see now how baking them really makes a difference. I never used butter or lemon extract before either, but I swear it helped take it up a notch. I love me some sweet potatoe pie, trust me you cant go wrong with this recipe, thank you Meso! Pie was so good made me subscribe!
Thank you Kenny for following the recipe without modifications. This is one recipe that when people won't follow it exactly I feel disappointed because I know what the end product could be but they are going to end up with just another mediocre/average sweet potato pie. It is an awesome pie! A few people here on UA-cam just would not trust me on the lemon flavoring and lemon juice aspect. They thought it would make the pies tart. You have made me proud. So happy that you had good success and that you came back here to tell me about it. Blessings and welcome to the Meso family.
Can I just say that I made this recipe last year and it got so many rave reviews that I came back this year to add it to my Thanksgiving menu!!! THANK YOU MESO!!!! Your video makes me feel like I'm in the kitchen with one of my family elders takin NOTES!!! Keep blessing us please!!! Love from DC!! XOXO
Hi Miss Meso, I just wanted to say a heartfelt “Thank You” for sharing your recipe for sweet potato pie with us all. In my lifetime, my mother made the absolute best sweet potato pies I’ve ever had. When she passed, she took that recipe with her to glory. I feel like she sent you to me as an angel to bring me her pies back! Thank you again. Happy Holidays. Be blessed.
Greetings. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I used your recipe with a minor difference in making the slurry and add another tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. The person I shared two pies with really enjoyed and so did I. Your recipe tastes like how sweet potato pie should taste unlike the Patti LaBelle sweet potato pie, which had a weird aftertaste. Tasting your recipe makes me want to test the recipe with more citrus. It's delicious. I do recommend that the sweet potato mixture be allowed to rest overnight so the flavors become more concentrated. I noticed that difference between the first and second pies. Again thank you for showing how you make your sweet potato pies. Yours even taste better than the Betty crocker sweet potato recipe my relative uses. A huge difference, too.
Almost 3 years making this recipe and it’s a hit every time! I even had a few ppl purchase pies from me with this recipe! Thank you for sharing your gift with us 🥰🥰
Meso... I just love you....my mom passed away and I didn't get all her recipes...when I see you cook....i still see her cooking.. I thank you for doing what you do...YOU ROCK.
Katherine I love you right back more than you could know. Thank you so much for sharing some of you personal life and your past with me. I don't take it lightly and consider it an honor. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Made a pie last night and took it to my family today. Knowing that I'm really not a cook, they were astounded at how good this pie was. Without any modifications and including the lemon flavor and all; follow the EXACT directions and your pie will be the talk of the event. Thanks Ms. Meso!
Sadly I did follow the exact instructions and the pies came out super lemony and very light in color. Also yielded 4 pies. They still tasted good but not what i expected. I told my family it’s lemon sweet potato pie =/
Ms.Meso, I just wanted you to know that your recipe is absolutely delicious! I’ve made it the last two years and is my official sweet potato pie recipe.
I had to come back and give you your credit! For the last 4 years I’ve been following your recipe and making these pies for my fam and friends for Thanksgiving! This is by far the BEST sweet potato pie any of us ever had!! I have to make at least 8-10 pies every year because we love them just that much!! Thank you so much!!! That lemon takes it to another level!! 😋😋
Lisha E. Thank you honey for coming back to let me know. Keep on being great there in your home. It is my grandmother's recipe and truly the best I ever tasted. You have joined your family's legacy to mine now and I am proud. Blessings for the year 2023.
I made these pies like two weeks ago and omg. They were soooo good. It did take me two bowls to mix everything since I don’t have a big bowl. I made it exactly like you said although I was skeptical about the lemon juice everything turned out delicious. I will use this recipe forever. Thank you for this video!
If made according to recipe it is perfect every time and it is truly the best sweet potato pie I've have ever eaten and I have eaten plenty. Thanks for watching and blessings.
I seriously watch this recipe about 65 times every year. Lol. I watch it over and over again while I'm making sweet potato pies. It is my go-to recipe for Thanksgiving. This is the best sweet potato pie ever!
I am so glad that I finally saw a recipe that bakes the potatoes because on one lazy day I felt compelled to bake them with the skin on and I found out that baking tasted so much better than boiling. My sister condemns me because she thinks she’s the pie queen within our family and she boils her potatoes. I say, if you haven’t tried baking the potatoes, please do because it is the best!!!!!
Thank you for this! I have a good pie recipe I've been making for years but I must try this recipe. I bake my potatoes too but tasted good pies with boiled potatoes. Never used flour in my custard. After baking I put my potatoes through a ricer to get all the strings out, hence nice smooth potatoes.
For Ms. Meso's pie, ya'll follow her EXACT recipe. You won't be disappointed and it is on the menu again for this 2019 holiday season! God Bless you Meso!!
lol ..... Sabrina, I love it! And he will be happy he did it when he sees the dishes you are going to be rocking out when you get it. Let me know when you get it. Blessings
I did this recipe Sunday..it was my very FIRST TIME baking a pie..& boyyyyyy it was good..I baked 2 pies instead of 3..I cut the ingredients just a tad & now I've been asked to baked the pies for Thanksgiving & Christmas! my family demolished those pies.. thank you I will continue to follow you
Keysa, now you know Meso is skinning and grinning and popping her collar cause every success you have and let me know about it, it is joy to my ears. That's the only reason I am here. Girl go on and get it, get! Take them bows momma. I love it. Blessings
I just tried this recipe and ma'am......LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!! I was eating the batter 😂😂😂😂 so delicious!! I also loved your voice and listening to background music 💓💓💓
Thanks for this recipe Mrs Meso! I followed the recipe to a "t" including baking the sweet potatoes. I did have to put the temp up to 400 instead of 350 for that first step (baking the sweet potatoes). The pies came out very delicious. I used frozen crusts. So, they did not burn at all...nice and golden. I will definitely be using this as my staple recipe. However, may be just 3 cups of sugar next time around. It is very sweet but, still a fan favorite.
Hey there Miss LaToya, Sounds like you had great success non the less and that is what really matters. Thanks for being smart enough to adjust the sweetness to your and your families personal dietary needs and desires. Thanks for watching.
Grew up in Louisiana and ALWAYS had my mawmaw or Mom’s sweet potato pie 😋 At 45 years old, I’m finally going to take a shot at making my own from scratch using your recipe. Look forward to making and adding it to my thighs in a few days 🤗 Thanks for the lovely video!
Meso... Thank you so much.my family is celebrating the holiday this Saturday. I made 3 pies last night, it was my first time. Dinner is tomorrow and we only have two pies left. We were never big sweet potato fans until now. Thank you!
NikkiNic, girl, I am over here smiling like I'm one of your guest. When you make a dish like this people talk about it for so long. They ask for you to make/sell them on. That's why I always say all sweet potato pies are NOT created equal. This one has the edge. Take your bows my Sweet Potato Pie rock star sister! So proud of you. Blessings
Yes and yes! Not bragging but I can tell you with certainty, this will be the best sweet potato pie you have ever eaten. IT WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS! Just glance through the comments of all the people who actually made it. I'm in hot water with my family for giving this recipe away. Many blessings to you, TBofJ
2 things... I put my pies on a preheated cookie sheet! Beautiful golden color. Also, while mixing I remove strings from my beaters several times! Thumbs up for this recipe. Enjoy the music! Ty very much.
I FOUND IT!! Made your recipe two years ago and it was a smash at my Thanksgiving dinner. Think I’m not doing it again this year!?…YOU BET I AM!!! Thank you for sharing Ms. Meso!! Happy Holidays Everyone!!
This is the best sweet potato recipe ever!! Everyone loves when I make these. My entire family goes crazy o we these pies!! We love, love, love them. That lemon juice does something different!!
Hey Takechia, I love you and am so proud of your success. This is the only reason I do these videos to hear something like this. You have blessed me today.
This is exactly how I make my sweet potatoe pies. My Mom passed it on down to me and lemon juice/extract balance out the flavor. I cannot eat it without the lemon flavor. Job well done sister!! I'm gonna try baking my potatoes. I boil them cause I make a huge batch..a canning pot full every year for the holidays. But this year I will try it your way.
They are in the oven right now!!! Thank you sooo much Meso!!! I'm sooo ready to taste them!!! The raw mixture taste devine!!! 90 minutes seems so far away lol!!! XOXO -Shell 😘😘😘
I'm an old Mississippi southern boy and I've had my share of sweet potato pie. This recipe I will most defiantly try. Looks absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
First off, I wish was at the table when that pie came out of the oven... yummy! Next, I’ve had baked and boiled sweet potatoes for the pie and both tasted good to me as long as it’s made with love, which is clearly done here.
im back for 2023, this is by far the best recipe ive come across, than you.. My family luv'd these pies last year. I'm gonna make the filling Tues,let it marinate over night and bake my pies on WED.
Finally found my Aunties recipe so excited she passes away and I never learn this recipe here Thank Thank Thank I’m new to your channel so glad I found you♥️
Gail you will be more than impressed with the out come of this recipe. It is certainly one of my top favorite recipes on this site. Thanks for watching hon. Be blessed.
This almost had me crying thinking about my mom. I could hear her talking to me while I watched this video, laughing at me saying in a high pitch voice, "lemon, butter, AND vanilla extract?" I'm definitely going to try this. She knows I gotta "burn" one for myself. Lol #6-5-17
Awww NT this is so sweet. It makes me feel proud and happy when something about my videos reminds someone of their mom or grandma. Please do try it. Blessings
Remember to lightly bake your pie crust a few minutes before you add your pie filling. You don’t want the bottom of your pie crust to taste raw or soggy.
Hey Sabrina, this would be correct info on many recipes but not needed on this one. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRE-BAKE THE CRUST ON THIS RECIPE! Do it exactly as I have shown you and you will receive ....PERFECTION!!!!! Blessings
I made this pie last night. You don't need to prebake the crust. I did exactly as the video but halved everything for one pie and it was perfect! My top layer had a light buttery crunch then soft on the inside and the crust was flaky and crisp all the way through. I'm making this recipe for Thanksgiving!
I'm up here quarantined and came across your video......yesssss!! I have enough ingredients to make 1 pie.......I am sooo happy..........Thank You Beautiful Lady!
Mrs Meso omg!!!! i just made this today best sweet potato pie ever and im proud i made it and its all thanks to you thank you so much for this recipe! and to all the nay sayers about the ingredients like the lemon juice let me tell you all it does not taste like lemon it does not over power anything it enhances flavor like alot of the ingredients she tells you to use follow the recipe exactly trust me you wont be disappointed! merry xmas everyone!
Nikki, thank you so much for coming back to let me know how it turned out. You are right a few people doubted that the pie would turn out good but it turns out seriously delicious! I'm proud of you "Kitchen Rock Star" wear the crown proudly. That's ok because we got the receipts, "the pie." Thanks for watching and commenting. Many blessings.
I was doing nothing sitting here so you're sweet potato pie recipe came up so I just figured I would watch it again and I still enjoy it it's been 11 months since I watch the first one but I still enjoy watching you make those pies thanks for sharing again just saying
This looks wonderful! Never knew about baking sweet potatoes! Making this for my hubby birthday he requested instead of cake. He is a Cajun baby! I might sneak a touch of burbon. Shhhh!😏 I put it in my pecan pie too. Looks so good I know my swamp baby will be pleased! Thank you!💙💜
Princess ..... I know you are right because it is so. Thanks for letting me know and you don't try to be modest ..... take all your bows and compliments coming your way because of this pie. No shying away. Blessings
I am making your Sweet Potato Pie as I write this appreciative text. I did not realize that boiling the potatoes take away the flavor & nutrients. Thank U for all of your yummy recipes. God Bless U.
Omg thanks soo much for putting this to a recipe every time I ask someone how to make sweet potato pie they always say the infamous "I don't measure" lol again thanks hun I'm making this on Christmas and I'll be sure to let you know how it turned out!
Hi Nikki, I am so guilty of that because I really don't measure and didn't realize how important it is to a lot of people to know the exact measurements until I started doing my channel. That's why if I don't actually measure I still give a measurement for the viewer that will make theirs taste right. But people that watch me cook for a while eventually get the hang of eyeballing it. I'm glad you are going to try this for C'mas and if you follow the recipe exactly you will see it is the best sweet potato pie you'll ever taste and I am not just saying that. When you taste it you will come back and tell me. Thanks so much for watching sweetheart and do be blessed.
I love your recipe it sounds great I am totally blind and I love how you described everything. There is nothing there that is hard to follow. It's great and it sounds wonderful. Somebody just asked me to do one and I didn't even know how. Now I feel like I'm a professional
Just wanted to come back and say thank you for the sweet potato pie recipe🌹 I am a live-in nurse and the woman I care for is almost 103 years old, her favorite food in the world is sweet potato! I made her two pies and she absolutely loves it and can't get enough!🤗🌼🌻

Lord, I wish I could have been there to see their faces when tasting the pie for the first time and to have seen your face when receiving all those kudos. Thank you for coming back to let me know! Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Thank you! This is the Sweet Potato Pie taste that I've been in search of since my Dear Aunt Cookie passed away, there has not been a pie to compare until now. I followed you directions and they turned out magnificent! Happy Holidays💐
i have been using this recipe for the last 3 years, never disappoints and using it again! Thank you!
Made this pie for Thanksgiving and it turned out great, will be making it again this Christmas. I always use to boil my sweet potatoes, but I see now how baking them really makes a difference. I never used butter or lemon extract before either, but I swear it helped take it up a notch. I love me some sweet potatoe pie, trust me you cant go wrong with this recipe, thank you Meso! Pie was so good made me subscribe!
Thank you Kenny for following the recipe without modifications. This is one recipe that when people won't follow it exactly I feel disappointed because I know what the end product could be but they are going to end up with just another mediocre/average sweet potato pie.
It is an awesome pie! A few people here on UA-cam just would not trust me on the lemon flavoring and lemon juice aspect. They thought it would make the pies tart. You have made me proud. So happy that you had good success and that you came back here to tell me about it. Blessings and welcome to the Meso family.
Can I just say that I made this recipe last year and it got so many rave reviews that I came back this year to add it to my Thanksgiving menu!!! THANK YOU MESO!!!! Your video makes me feel like I'm in the kitchen with one of my family elders takin NOTES!!! Keep blessing us please!!! Love from DC!! XOXO
Hi Miss Meso,
I just wanted to say a heartfelt “Thank You” for sharing your recipe for sweet potato pie with us all.
In my lifetime, my mother made the absolute best sweet potato pies I’ve ever had. When she passed, she took that recipe with her to glory.
I feel like she sent you to me as an angel to bring me her pies back! Thank you again. Happy Holidays. Be blessed.
Greetings. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I used your recipe with a minor difference in making the slurry and add another tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. The person I shared two pies with really enjoyed and so did I. Your recipe tastes like how sweet potato pie should taste unlike the Patti LaBelle sweet potato pie, which had a weird aftertaste. Tasting your recipe makes me want to test the recipe with more citrus. It's delicious. I do recommend that the sweet potato mixture be allowed to rest overnight so the flavors become more concentrated. I noticed that difference between the first and second pies. Again thank you for showing how you make your sweet potato pies. Yours even taste better than the Betty crocker sweet potato recipe my relative uses. A huge difference, too.
Almost 3 years making this recipe and it’s a hit every time! I even had a few ppl purchase pies from me with this recipe! Thank you for sharing your gift with us 🥰🥰
Baking the sweet potatoes makes the potatoes more concentrated with its own flavor
Meso... I just love you....my mom passed away and I didn't get all her recipes...when I see you cook....i still see her cooking.. I thank you for doing what you do...YOU ROCK.
Katherine I love you right back more than you could know. Thank you so much for sharing some of you personal life and your past with me. I don't take it lightly and consider it an honor. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
I literally come back to this recipe every year!!! Thank you Lovely Lady!! xoxo
My 3rd year making this pie for my family and it never ceases to amaze
Made this for Thanksgiving and my mom said I could sell these pies, they were that good. Thanks for the recipe!
Jan, yes, yes, yes, of course these pies will sell. Thanks for letting me know of your great success, Ms. Diva. They are just that good. Blessings
This is the way my Mom made a sweet potato pie...best ever!!
Delicious! I've baked these 2 years in a row and will not make it any other way! Thanks, Meso!
Used this recipe. It was my first time making sweet potatoe pies from scratch. I love it!! I'll never buy store bought again.
This is indisputably THE BEST Sweet Potato Pie recipe! Thank you for sharing! This is the third year I’m making it 💜
Made a pie last night and took it to my family today. Knowing that I'm really not a cook, they were astounded at how good this pie was. Without any modifications and including the lemon flavor and all; follow the EXACT directions and your pie will be the talk of the event. Thanks Ms. Meso!
Hi Delia, awww, I appreciate you telling me this. It is the highlight of my day. Thanks for watching. Blessings.
Sadly I did follow the exact instructions and the pies came out super lemony and very light in color. Also yielded 4 pies. They still tasted good but not what i expected. I told my family it’s lemon sweet potato pie =/
Ms.Meso, I just wanted you to know that your recipe is absolutely delicious! I’ve made it the last two years and is my official sweet potato pie recipe.
I had to come back and give you your credit! For the last 4 years I’ve been following your recipe and making these pies for my fam and friends for Thanksgiving! This is by far the BEST sweet potato pie any of us ever had!! I have to make at least 8-10 pies every year because we love them just that much!! Thank you so much!!! That lemon takes it to another level!! 😋😋
Lisha E. Thank you honey for coming back to let me know. Keep on being great there in your home. It is my grandmother's recipe and truly the best I ever tasted. You have joined your family's legacy to mine now and I am proud. Blessings for the year 2023.
I made these pies like two weeks ago and omg. They were soooo good. It did take me two bowls to mix everything since I don’t have a big bowl. I made it exactly like you said although I was skeptical about the lemon juice everything turned out delicious. I will use this recipe forever. Thank you for this video!
If made according to recipe it is perfect every time and it is truly the best sweet potato pie I've have ever eaten and I have eaten plenty. Thanks for watching and blessings.
I seriously watch this recipe about 65 times every year. Lol. I watch it over and over again while I'm making sweet potato pies. It is my go-to recipe for Thanksgiving. This is the best sweet potato pie ever!
T4F, I love you and your comment. That's what it's all about and it is the only reason I do UA-cam. Blessings
i wont lie u had me at baking the sweet potatoes keeping that juice in
Thank you Chrisford, be blessed and thanks for watching.
Chisford Green ...I agree with you...I was all in when she said it too...lol
Katherine Murphy LOL
💯
Ok I was like ni wait a minute my granny always boiled hers BUT I wanna give this a try 😊
I am so glad that I finally saw a recipe that bakes the potatoes because on one lazy day I felt compelled to bake them with the skin on and I found out that baking tasted so much better than boiling. My sister condemns me because she thinks she’s the pie queen within our family and she boils her potatoes. I say, if you haven’t tried baking the potatoes, please do because it is the best!!!!!
Thank you for this! I have a good pie recipe I've been making for years but I must try this recipe. I bake my potatoes too but tasted good pies with boiled potatoes. Never used flour in my custard. After baking I put my potatoes through a ricer to get all the strings out, hence nice smooth potatoes.
For Ms. Meso's pie, ya'll follow her EXACT recipe. You won't be disappointed and it is on the menu again for this 2019 holiday season! God Bless you Meso!!
Exactly! A lot of folks saying the ingredients are weird,but is super delicious
@@Pisces_realshit it sure is!
Hello Ms. Meso.... My husband don’t know it yet, but he’s going to buy me a mixer just like yours. 😂
lol ..... Sabrina, I love it! And he will be happy he did it when he sees the dishes you are going to be rocking out when you get it. Let me know when you get it. Blessings
#sabrinaJohnson How you liking your mixer? They are the best!
sabrina Johnson ...2020...Lol 😄

sabrina Johnson I got one I had it for 4 years never opened it, but I'm going to use it soon my Kitchen Aide Mixer 👏🏽
I did this recipe Sunday..it was my very FIRST TIME baking a pie..& boyyyyyy it was good..I baked 2 pies instead of 3..I cut the ingredients just a tad & now I've been asked to baked the pies for Thanksgiving & Christmas! my family demolished those pies.. thank you I will continue to follow you
Keysa, now you know Meso is skinning and grinning and popping her collar cause every success you have and let me know about it, it is joy to my ears. That's the only reason I am here. Girl go on and get it, get! Take them bows momma. I love it. Blessings
I just tried this recipe and ma'am......LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!! I was eating the batter 😂😂😂😂 so delicious!! I also loved your voice and listening to background music 💓💓💓
Tiffany L Can you whisk it by hand or do you need a mixer?
Thanks for this recipe Mrs Meso! I followed the recipe to a "t" including baking the sweet potatoes. I did have to put the temp up to 400 instead of 350 for that first step (baking the sweet potatoes). The pies came out very delicious. I used frozen crusts. So, they did not burn at all...nice and golden. I will definitely be using this as my staple recipe. However, may be just 3 cups of sugar next time around. It is very sweet but, still a fan favorite.
Hey there Miss LaToya, Sounds like you had great success non the less and that is what really matters. Thanks for being smart enough to adjust the sweetness to your and your families personal dietary needs and desires. Thanks for watching.
Grew up in Louisiana and ALWAYS had my mawmaw or Mom’s sweet potato pie 😋 At 45 years old, I’m finally going to take a shot at making my own from scratch using your recipe. Look forward to making and adding it to my thighs in a few days 🤗 Thanks for the lovely video!
Barbara how did yours turn out? Blessings
Meso... Thank you so much.my family is celebrating the holiday this Saturday. I made 3 pies last night, it was my first time. Dinner is tomorrow and we only have two pies left. We were never big sweet potato fans until now. Thank you!
NikkiNic, girl, I am over here smiling like I'm one of your guest. When you make a dish like this people talk about it for so long. They ask for you to make/sell them on. That's why I always say all sweet potato pies are NOT created equal. This one has the edge. Take your bows my Sweet Potato Pie rock star sister! So proud of you. Blessings
Yes, Watkins is everything!! That's what I grew up with and use it to this day! ❤❤
Excellent! You made me hungry for SPP and I just ate some buried in whipped cream! The kicker is that sweet pot. are vitamin rich too.🥧
Yes and yes! Not bragging but I can tell you with certainty, this will be the best sweet potato pie you have ever eaten. IT WILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS! Just glance through the comments of all the people who actually made it. I'm in hot water with my family for giving this recipe away. Many blessings to you, TBofJ
It's that time of year again!!! I always come back for a refresher course from mama meso!!😘
2 things... I put my pies on a preheated cookie sheet! Beautiful golden color. Also, while mixing I remove strings from my beaters several times! Thumbs up for this recipe. Enjoy the music! Ty very much.
I made two of these this evening with enough left to make another one. FINALLY, a recipe that I really like! Thank you so much! 😀
Hey Tonya, Thanks! I know this sweet potato pie is my signature dish. One of the best dishes that I make. Thanks for watching. Blessings
I Used this recipe last Thanksgiving and everyone cannot get enough!!! Thank you
I FOUND IT!! Made your recipe two years ago and it was a smash at my Thanksgiving dinner. Think I’m not doing it again this year!?…YOU BET I AM!!! Thank you for sharing Ms. Meso!! Happy Holidays Everyone!!
This is the best sweet potato recipe ever!! Everyone loves when I make these. My entire family goes crazy o we these pies!! We love, love, love them. That lemon juice does something different!!
you are so right and I have never met anyone who tasted these pies that didn't like them. They are the best thing on the dessert table. Blessings
I followed this exact recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a hit!!! Thanks for sharing and teaching.
Hey Takechia, I love you and am so proud of your success. This is the only reason I do these videos to hear something like this. You have blessed me today.
This is exactly how I make my sweet potatoe pies. My Mom passed it on down to me and lemon juice/extract balance out the flavor. I cannot eat it without the lemon flavor. Job well done sister!! I'm gonna try baking my potatoes. I boil them cause I make a huge batch..a canning pot full every year for the holidays. But this year I will try it your way.
They are in the oven right now!!! Thank you sooo much Meso!!! I'm sooo ready to taste them!!! The raw mixture taste devine!!! 90 minutes seems so far away lol!!!
XOXO -Shell 😘😘😘
I'm an old Mississippi southern boy and I've had my share of sweet potato pie. This recipe I will most defiantly try. Looks absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Old Mississippi Southern Boy, Thank you and let me know how yours turns out please. Blessings
I don't cook dessert 2 fast but this was the best pie I every made. I cooked it for Thanksgiving. Delicious!
Hands down the best sweet potato pie recipe!!! This has been my go to recipe for the past 3 years. Family loves and cannot get enough!
Thanks for watching Angel. Blessings!
Beautiful. They look so good, could almost smell the cinnamon. Yum!
First off, I wish was at the table when that pie came out of the oven... yummy! Next, I’ve had baked and boiled sweet potatoes for the pie and both tasted good to me as long as it’s made with love, which is clearly done here.
Hey Ronnie, thank you for the kind words and be blessed.
The bomb! I sent my mom this link and she made me one . Perfect 👌🏼
My favorite recipe for the last 5 years I’ve been making it for my family and friends and they love it. Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
THE BEST RECIPE...and I'm back again this year with my forgetful self. Thanks for this video again 😙😙😙😙
im back for 2023, this is by far the best recipe ive come across, than you.. My family luv'd these pies last year. I'm gonna make the filling Tues,let it marinate over night and bake my pies on WED.
This looks like the closes thing to my late great uncle's pie. I can't wait to try it!
I have to make these pies every week. My husband crave them.
Finally found my Aunties recipe so excited she passes away and I never learn this recipe here Thank Thank Thank I’m new to your channel so glad I found you♥️
Gail you will be more than impressed with the out come of this recipe. It is certainly one of my top favorite recipes on this site. Thanks for watching hon. Be blessed.
I halved this recipe and it made almost 2 pies. This is the BEST sweet potato pie I've ever had
Divide all ingredients by 3 if you just want to make 1 pie. Blessings.
It's that time of year again! Time to watch Meso's sweet potato pie recipe for Thanksgiving. Wonderful!
This recipe is the best sweet potato pie recipe I have ever used in my life. An excellent recipe.
Glad you like it!
This almost had me crying thinking about my mom. I could hear her talking to me while I watched this video, laughing at me saying in a high pitch voice, "lemon, butter, AND vanilla extract?" I'm definitely going to try this. She knows I gotta "burn" one for myself. Lol #6-5-17
Awww NT this is so sweet. It makes me feel proud and happy when something about my videos reminds someone of their mom or grandma. Please do try it. Blessings
Is anyone else in love with her voice though? The pies look awesome.
Awwwww, Queen2u your kindness shows in your words. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Remember to lightly bake your pie crust a few minutes before you add your pie filling. You don’t want the bottom of your pie crust to taste raw or soggy.
Hey Sabrina, this would be correct info on many recipes but not needed on this one. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRE-BAKE THE CRUST ON THIS RECIPE! Do it exactly as I have shown you and you will receive ....PERFECTION!!!!! Blessings
sabrina Johnson
Good 💡 idea
I made this pie last night. You don't need to prebake the crust. I did exactly as the video but halved everything for one pie and it was perfect! My top layer had a light buttery crunch then soft on the inside and the crust was flaky and crisp all the way through. I'm making this recipe for Thanksgiving!
I actually like the crust a but "soggy" maybe it's just me?
Wonderful suggestion!
I'm up here quarantined and came across your video......yesssss!! I have enough ingredients to make 1 pie.......I am sooo happy..........Thank You Beautiful Lady!
Hope you enjoyed! Blessings
Mrs Meso omg!!!! i just made this today best sweet potato pie ever and im proud i made it and its all thanks to you thank you so much for this recipe! and to all the nay sayers about the ingredients like the lemon juice let me tell you all it does not taste like lemon it does not over power anything it enhances flavor like alot of the ingredients she tells you to use follow the recipe exactly trust me you wont be disappointed! merry xmas everyone!
Nikki, thank you so much for coming back to let me know how it turned out. You are right a few people doubted that the pie would turn out good but it turns out seriously delicious! I'm proud of you "Kitchen Rock Star" wear the crown proudly. That's ok because we got the receipts, "the pie." Thanks for watching and commenting. Many blessings.
Your very welcome,and thanks again also do you have a tamale pie recipe on here?
The recipe, the music and the voice! Oh, the voice, it makes me just gooooo crazy listening to you!
Thank you babes, for your kind words! Blessings
I did this for dinner and my people loved it!!
I make this recipe every thanksgiving and Christmas and my family loves it. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome!
I steam mine and I love your cookin, so so good I didn't think no one made pies like me though but this is the way to go!
I was doing nothing sitting here so you're sweet potato pie recipe came up so I just figured I would watch it again and I still enjoy it it's been 11 months since I watch the first one but I still enjoy watching you make those pies thanks for sharing again just saying
Thank you Ms. Meso!! This is the best sweet potato pie I’ve ever eaten! So glad I found your channel!!
This looks wonderful! Never knew about baking sweet potatoes! Making this for my hubby birthday he requested instead of cake. He is a Cajun baby! I might sneak a touch of burbon. Shhhh!😏 I put it in my pecan pie too. Looks so good I know my swamp baby will be pleased! Thank you!💙💜
The Watkins brand I remember that company. Back in the day (80s) that's all my Dad would buy their such a good company.
I’ve been using this recipe for the last 3-4 years . Crème de la crème ! Thank you for sharing.
Man I just made this and it was amazing its for my house warming in the morning they are going to love it thank you keep doing what you do
Princess ..... I know you are right because it is so. Thanks for letting me know and you don't try to be modest ..... take all your bows and compliments coming your way because of this pie. No shying away. Blessings
I am making your Sweet Potato Pie as I write this appreciative text. I did not realize that boiling the potatoes take away the flavor & nutrients. Thank U for all of your yummy recipes. God Bless U.
Hello Sibly, thank you for your kind words and I appreciate you watching; Blessings
Made this pie today which is Thanksgiving Day 2021 and it was delicious will be making it again thanks for the recipe thumbs up.
I made this just now using your recipe and it is GREAT!! I added a half a can of condensed milk also just to give the sweetness a little kick!
Skylar, sounds like you did good. I use evaporated sometime too. Thanks for watching and be blessed.
Omg thanks soo much for putting this to a recipe every time I ask someone how to make sweet potato pie they always say the infamous "I don't measure" lol again thanks hun I'm making this on Christmas and I'll be sure to let you know how it turned out!
Hi Nikki, I am so guilty of that because I really don't measure and didn't realize how important it is to a lot of people to know the exact measurements until I started doing my channel. That's why if I don't actually measure I still give a measurement for the viewer that will make theirs taste right. But people that watch me cook for a while eventually get the hang of eyeballing it. I'm glad you are going to try this for C'mas and if you follow the recipe exactly you will see it is the best sweet potato pie you'll ever taste and I am not just saying that. When you taste it you will come back and tell me. Thanks so much for watching sweetheart and do be blessed.
I love your recipe it sounds great I am totally blind and I love how you described everything. There is nothing there that is hard to follow. It's great and it sounds wonderful. Somebody just asked me to do one and I didn't even know how. Now I feel like I'm a professional
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Did you make the pies? If yes, how did they turn out? Blessings
