Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large sweet potatoes (2 cups mashed)
1 unbaked pie crust
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten and room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Clean the sweet potatoes and bake for 45-55 minutes until very soft. Allow the potatoes to cool.
  • Reduce heat on the oven to 350°F.
  • Roll out your pie dough to 12-inches in diameter. Place the dough in a 9×2-inch (deep dish) pie plate. Set aside or into the refrigerator if not ready to bake yet.
  • Once cooled, peel the skin from the potatoes and mash until smooth. You will need 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar together for 1 minute. Add in the mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and mix for another minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle the top of the filling with the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Allow the pie to sit for 10 minutes to allow the sugar time to dissolve/melt.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Pie will puff up and then sink back down as it cools.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack.

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH CRUNCHY CRANBERRY TOPPING

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds sweet potatoes, for 1 1/2 cups puree
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Pinch salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
2 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup pecans
1 (8-ounce) package frozen cranberries
1 (2.3-ounce) package amaretto cookies (about 12), such as Amaretti di Saronno

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake them until they are soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until they are cool enough to handle.
  • While the potatoes are cooking make the pastry: combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the ice water and work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky. Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle. Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 9-inch pie pan. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and sides so it fits tightly. Trim the excess dough around the rim and pinch the edges to form a border. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill with uncooked beans or pie weights. Bake the pie crust until it sets, about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans. Brush the bottom with the beaten egg white and set aside.
  • While the crust is cooking make the filling: When cool enough to handle, peel the sweet potatoes and puree the pulp in a food processor with 1/2 stick butter and a pinch of salt. Measure 1 1/2 cups puree into a bowl. In another bowl beat the eggs and sugar until the sugar has melted. Add the eggs to the sweet potato puree and whisk well. Add the cream, orange zest, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Place the pie pan on a sturdy cookie sheet to catch any spills. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake until the pie is set but still jiggles slightly, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the pecans on a baking sheet and bake them with the pie for about 10 minutes to toast them. Remove them from the oven and let them cool. Thaw the cranberries in a strainer set over a bowl to catch the liquid. Put the cookies, pecans, and cranberries into a food processor and pulse them a few times until they are coarsely chopped. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cooled pie and serve immediately.

SIMPLE CRUSTLESS SWEET POTATO PIE



Simple Crustless Sweet Potato Pie image

This recipe is pretty versatile. I used a can of Farmer's Market sweet potato puree, and you can easily swap out for a can of squash puree or pumpkin. Unsweetened soymilk does just fine in this too, I just happened to have vanilla on hand and think that made it a little sweeter.
