Add 1/2 cup melted butter to the whipped sweet potatoes.

Mix in 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar.

Add 2 eggs and mix until combined.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Pour in 1/2 cup evaporated milk and mix until smooth.

Scoop the mixture into a pre-made pie crust.

Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes or until firm.

Let the pie cool for about 45 minutes before serving with Cool Whip.
