Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
2 large sweet potatoes, (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 15-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Crimp edge as desired. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water; place over high heat and bring to a boil. Fit saucepan with a steamer basket, add sweet potatoes, and cover. Steam until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. You may need to add more water as sweet potatoes steam. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly before removing skins by rubbing potatoes with a paper towel.
  • Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the sweet potatoes are well mashed and any stringy pieces of sweet potato have wrapped themselves around the paddle attachment. Remove paddle attachment, wipe clean, and return to mixer.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add butter, and beat until well combined and cooled slightly. Slowly add sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating until well combined.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Transfer to oven and bake until center has set, 45 to 50 minutes.

SARAH CONTONA'S SWEET POTATO PIE



Sarah Contona's Sweet Potato Pie image

This is different from your normal sweet potato pies, especially the crust and the cream cheese. My grandmother used to make it, then my mother and her sisters made it for many years. Now that I've moved away from New York and are no longer with them, I make it for my girlfriend's family. Eat it with Thanksgiving dinner, just like we did! Enjoy!

ALEXIS'S SWEET POTATO PIE



Alexis's Sweet Potato Pie image

This scrumptious sweet-potato pie, created by Martha's daughter, Alexis, strikes all the right balances: its consistency is dense but not heavy, and its flavor sweet but not saccharine. When buying fresh sweet potatoes, choose small- to medium-size examples with smooth, unbruised skins. Martha made this recipe on episode 705 of Martha Bakes.

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH JACK DANIELS - MAKES 2 PIES



Sweet Potato Pie With Jack Daniels - Makes 2 Pies image

Sweet Potato Pie is so much better than pumpkin pie, IMHO, LOL! In fact, if it has the same color as Pumpkin Pie it means that someone has used pumpkin pie seasonings. True Sweet Potato Pie is a bright orange, as opposed to the brownish orange hues of Pumpkin. This pie has 3 shots of Jack Daniels. I've been told that the alcohol evaporates, but I can't swear to it. So if you have problems with alcohol, or it clashes with your meds, take this into consideration. It is to die for

Categories     Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 pies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -5 large sweet potatoes
2/3 cup butter, softened to room temp (you can use margine, but why mess with Mother Nature?)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 (15 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk (I use Eagle Brand, but do NOT substitute evaporated milk!!!)
3 ounces Jack Daniels Whiskey (that's 2 shots)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 deep dish pie shells
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Pop the sweet taters in the microwave until they are soft inside and easily pierced with a knife.
  • Put them aside and allow them to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the eggs in a large bowl and beat them lightly.
  • Add the Eagle Brand, the butter, the vanilla, and the salt.
  • Combine well.
  • By this time the potatoes should be cool enough to touch. The peel should easily come off the potatoes. (I have found this easier that peeling, cubing, and boiling.).
  • Add the potatoes to the Eagle Brand liquids.
  • Mash well until everything is well mixed and smooth.
  • Pour into the 2 deep dish pie crusts.
  • Bake 55 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes up clean.
  • Serve with whipped cream if desired.
  • Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!

GOLDILOCKS SWEET POTATO PIE



Goldilocks Sweet Potato Pie image

She tasted the first sweet potato pie, 'This is too grainy! Like mashed potatoes in a pie crust.' She tasted the second pie, 'This is too plain, like pumpkin pie, only less so.' She tasted the third pie 'Ahh, this is just right. Strong sweet-potato flavor, but still a nice texture. Yum. Yum. Yum.'

### Tips:
  • Choose the right potatoes. For the smoothest, creamiest pie, use sweet potatoes with deep orange flesh, such as Garnet yams or Jewel sweet potatoes.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are very tender. This will ensure that the pie filling is smooth and creamy.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the potatoes. This will help to create a light and fluffy filling.
  • Season the filling with spices. Common spices used in sweet potato pie include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Add a little sweetener. Sugar, honey, or maple syrup can be used to sweeten the pie filling.
  • Use a flaky pie crust. A flaky pie crust will help to create a contrast in texture between the filling and the crust.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool before serving. This will help the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.
### Conclusion:

Sweet potato pie is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. It is a classic Southern dish, but it is also popular in many other parts of the world. With its smooth and creamy filling and flaky crust, sweet potato pie is sure to please everyone at your table.
