A tablespoon of dark molasses per pie also helps

PS I love this whole website.

I prefer carrot pie...that's what I grew up on. Much more flavor than a pumpkin pie, but.....when I make pumpkin (my husband prefers).....use 1 T pumpkin pie spice (per pie-2 if you double the recipe). Ellen

Yes, I think sweet potatoe is very smooth. I also prefer it over the pumpkin. I never eat the pumpkin. The carrot and the sweet potatoe are very good... :-)
