**Black Bottom Sweet Potato Pie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked
– 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup butter, melted
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place your pre-baked pie crust on a baking sheet.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula for an even surface.
4. Now, let’s move on to the black bottom layer. We will be making a simple chocolate mixture to add a delightful contrast to the sweet potato filling.
5. For the black bottom layer, you will need:
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 2 tablespoons butter
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
7. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the sweet potato filling in the pie crust. Use a knife or toothpick to create swirls or a marble effect, blending the chocolate with the sweet potato mixture.
8. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the chocolate layer is slightly firm.
9. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar or whipped cream on top before serving.
