PECAN CRUNCH BOURBON SWEET POTATO PIE



Pecan Crunch Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie image

Yield 1 9 inch pie servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 5 small to medium
sweet potatoes)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon table salt
2-3 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup whole milk
¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
3 tablespoons cane syrup
1 9-inch pie crust, partially baked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Wrap sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and bake them until completely cooked through. (Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, but it will take from 30 to 60 minutes.) Remove cooked sweet potatoes from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Halve each potato crosswise, then insert small spoon between skin and flesh, and scoop flesh into medium bowl; discard skin. Repeat with remaining sweet potatoes; you should have about 2 cups of flesh after removing skin. While potatoes are still hot, add butter and mash with fork or wooden spoon; small lumps of potato should remain. Whisk together eggs, yolks, sugar, nutmeg and salt in medium bowl; stir in bourbon, molasses and vanilla, then whisk in milk. Gradually add egg mixture to sweet potatoes, whisking gently to combine. Heat partially baked pie crust in oven until warm, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle bottom of pie shell evenly with brown sugar. Pour sweet potato mixture into pie shell over brown sugar layer. Bake for 15 minutes more. Meanwhile, toss chopped pecans with cane syrup until evenly coated; set aside. Lower temperature to 350F, spread the pecan and cane syrup topping over the top of the pie, then return pie to the oven and continue baking until filling is set around edges but center jiggles slightly when shaken, about 40 minutes. Transfer pie to wire rack; cool to room temperature, about 2 hours, and serve.

BOURBON SWEET POTATO PECAN PIE



Bourbon Sweet Potato Pecan Pie image

Two southern Thanksgiving classics collide in a perfectly sweet and easy-to-make pie that has something for everyone at your table.

Provided by Jazz

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 large sweet potatoes (about 6 inches long and 4 inches across)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1 cup Karo Light Corn Syrup
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup butter (cut into cubes)
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a fork or knife, pierce sweet potatoes several times then place in oven to roast for about 45 minutes or until tender.
  • While sweet potatoes roast, make pie crust. Start the crust by incorporating sea salt, flour, and butter until a coarse meal forms. This can be done in a bowl by hand by hand or in a food processor. Add cold water and continue working or pulsing mixture until a dough forms. Shape dough into a disc (like a hockey puck), wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once sweet potatoes are roasted, carefully remove from oven and place in fridge to cool to room temperature. Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees.
  • Remove pie crust dough from fridge and roll out into about 1/4-inch thickness. Place dough into a 9-inch pie pan and fold or crimp edges, as desired. Place into oven to par bake for about 10 minutes then remove and reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
  • While crust par bakes, make sweet potato filling. Remove skin from roasted sweet potatoes and combine with heavy cream, butter, egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, whiskey, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sea salt. This step can be done with a mixer, by hand, or in a food processor. I recommend using a food processor for the smoothest filling. The result should be thick, custard-like, and free of lumps. If filling is too thin, place in the fridge to stiffen up a bit before assembling pie.
  • In another bowl, mix together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and uniform. Stir in pecans.
  • To assemble pie, spread sweet potato filling into prepared crust. There should be about one inch of space between the top of the sweet potato filling and the edges of the pie crust. Next, gently pour pecan pie filling over top. This layer should be almost flush with the top of the pie pan.
  • Bake pie for one hour. Top of pie will puff up as it bakes but will settle as it cools. Cool pie completely before cutting.

Steps:

For the sweet potato layer, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, heavy cream, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Spread the sweet potato filling in the pie crust. For the pecan layer, combine the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed for 4-5 minutes or until thick. Stir in the pecans by hand. Pour the pecan mixture over the sweet potato filling, spreading it to the edges. Place the pie in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Prepare the bourbon sauce while the pie cools. Combine the cream and milk in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer. Add the pudding mix with the mixer running. Mix until blended, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the bourbon and vanilla and continue to mix until it is the consistency of a thick sauce. Let the sauce sit for one hour. Cut the pie into slices and serve with the bourbon sauce.

BOURBON PECAN PIE



Bourbon Pecan Pie image

This is a classic and simple recipe given a Southern kick with a little bourbon. The alcohol will evaporate when you bake the pie, and you're left with a richly flavored, gooey dessert, intensely sweet with a baseline of vanilla. You do need both light and dark corn syrup for this - using only one or the other will change the pie's flavor. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

Provided by Julia Reed

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (see recipe)
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans
