MINI SWEET POTATO PIES
Coconut milk gives the spiced sweet potato filling in these small pies a delicate custard texture, and coconut flakes on top deliver a toasted nuttiness. This recipe calls for pressing two dozen tiny crusts into a mini-muffin tin, which may seem tedious, but is easy with the help of a wine or champagne cork, which is the ideal size for tamping down the graham cracker crumbs. These two-bite (OK, one-bite) pies need to be chilled, so they're ideal for making ahead and can be refrigerated for up to three days.

Steps:
- Start the filling: Prepare a steamer. Steam the sweet potato over medium-high heat until falling-apart tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the sweet potato to a food processor and purée until smooth. Alternatively, smash and stir with a heavy whisk until smooth.
- Meanwhile, make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cups of a mini-muffin tin with paper liners. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the butter, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
- Divide mixture evenly among the mini-muffin liners (about 1 packed teaspoon per cup). Using a wine cork or your fingertips, firmly press the crumbs into an even layer. Bake until brown at the edges, 6 to 8 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, finish the filling: Smash the sugar, butter, pumpkin pie spice and salt until well combined, then stir in 3/4 cup sweet potato, the coconut milk and the rum until smooth. Stir in the egg until just incorporated.
- When the crusts are done, divide the filling among the hot crusts (about 1 tablespoon per cup). Sprinkle with the coconut flakes. Return to the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees.
- Bake until the coconut is golden brown and the pies are set, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack until room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
Tips:
- To make the mini pies ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and let them cool completely. Then, freeze them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat them in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
- If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin and make 6-8 larger pies. Just increase the baking time to 25-30 minutes.
- For a vegan version of this recipe, you can use vegan butter and cream cheese. You can also omit the eggs and add 1/4 cup of applesauce or mashed banana instead.
- Feel free to get creative with the toppings for these pies. You could use a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a sprinkling of chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
These mini sweet potato pies are the perfect fall treat. They're easy to make, delicious, and can be made ahead of time. So next time you need a quick and easy dessert, give this recipe a try!
