1/4 cup granulated sugar

How to Make Glazed Jamaican Jerk Sweet Potato Pie Step by Step
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared pie crust into a pie dish and gently crimp the edges. Set aside while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in evaporated milk, vanilla extract, jerk seasoning, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula so the pie bakes evenly and develops an attractive appearance.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the middle comes out mostly clean. Allow the pie to cool for fifteen minutes.
Mix honey and maple syrup together. Brush the glaze evenly over the warm pie. Let the Glazed Jamaican Jerk Sweet Potato Pie cool completely before slicing and serving for the best texture and flavor.
Pro Tips for the Best Glazed Jamaican Jerk Sweet Potato Pie
Roast whole sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. This concentrates their natural sugars and creates a deeper flavor profile.
Let the jerk seasoning sit in the filling for ten minutes before baking so the spices fully bloom and distribute evenly.
Warm the honey and maple syrup slightly before glazing to create a thinner, more even coating.
Chill the baked pie for one hour before serving if you prefer cleaner slices and a firmer texture.
