- While some bakeries might be content to use a canned filling, our pastry chef insists on freshly steaming the sweet potatoes for this mouthwatering pie. We think the result is noticeably superior. Those who love simplicity will savor the creamy texture and the earthy, nutty flavors of this pie au naturel, but if you prefer your sweet potatoes Southern-style, top a slice with toasted pecans and freshly whipped cream.
