World Class Rock Recipes: Michael Jackson’s Sweet Potato Pie

This recipe can be found in The Dead Celebrity Cookbook by Frank Decaro.

Michael Jackson’s Sweet Potato Pie

3 eggs
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup milk 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2½ cups mashed sweet potatoes (fresh or canned, heaping cups)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon or orange juice
1 pie shell (9-inch), unbaked
½ cup pecan halves, optional

Begin by beating the eggs and sugar, and then add melted butter, salt, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Once that is mixed, incorporate mashed sweet potatoes and fruit juice before pouring into a pie shell. Garnishing the dish with pecans is optional. Place the pie in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 40 minutes or until it’s golden brown on top.
