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:

- Use Fresh Sweet Potatoes and Pumpkin: Fresh ingredients impart the best flavor and texture to your pies.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes and Pumpkin: Roasting intensifies the flavors and adds a touch of caramelization.
- Don't Overmix the Filling: Overmixing can result in a tough filling. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Filling: Chilling the filling helps it set and makes it easier to work with.
- Use a Cookie Cutter to Shape the Pies: A cookie cutter ensures uniform pie shapes and sizes.
- Bake the Pies Until the Crust is Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the pies to prevent overbaking.
- Let the Pies Cool Completely: Cooling allows the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Pies Warm or at Room Temperature: Both ways are delicious, depending on your preference.
