Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes (3 medium)
1 piece refrigerated pie dough (or 1 disk homemade dough; see page 122)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel off the skins and puree the flesh in a food processor until smooth. (You?ll need 2 cups sweet potato puree.)
  • Gently roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 91/2-inch deep-dish pie dish; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges. Line the crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and continue to bake until the crust is golden on the bottom, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine the sweet potato puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, melted butter, 3 tablespoons rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until combined. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until the filling is set, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it gets too dark.) Place the pie on a rack and let cool, about 2 hours.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and beat with the mixer until thickened. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon rum and the orange zest. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie topped with the whipped cream.

SWEET POTATO PIE

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, orange skin. Avoid potatoes with any signs of bruising or decay.
  • Bake the sweet 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 sweet potatoes: This will help to create a smooth filling. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the potatoes by hand, but be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
  • Add spices to taste: The basic recipe for sweet potato pie is simple, but you can add spices to taste. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling can make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the pie to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mama Jackson's Sweet Potato Pie is a delicious and classic Southern dessert. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and sweet potato flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
