To prepare roasted sweet potatoes, preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the sweet potatoes on it. Poke each sweet potato with a fork a few times, drizzle with oil, and bake for 30-40 minutes until they are fork-tender.
Let the baked sweet potatoes cool for about an hour, then peel off the skin. Transfer the cooked sweet potato to a blender and process until smooth. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
To make sweet potato pie, start by measuring 2 cups of pureed sweet potato into a large bowl. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, heavy cream, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
Next, prepare a 9-inch pie pan by spraying it with non-stick spray. Unroll the premade pie dough and gently press it into the pan, crimping the edges as desired. Poke the bottom of the pie crust with a fork several times.
Pour the prepared pie filling into the crust and bake in the oven for approximately 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and doesn't jiggle when moved. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cooled, slice and serve, optionally with whipped cream.
