Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 to 3 sweet potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 large eggs
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 prebaked Pie Crust for Sweet Potato Pie, or 1 frozen store-bought (9-inch) crust
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pecans, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • To make the sweet potato puree, cover sweet potatoes with water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; puree in a food processor until completely smooth. Let cool completely before using (refrigerate or freeze for quicker cooling).
  • To make filling, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Add sweet-potato puree, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 cup cream; whisk until completely smooth. Place cooled crust on a rimmed baking sheet; pour filling into crust. (If using a store-bought crust, defrost 10 minutes; prick bottom all over with a fork.)
  • Bake pie on lowest rack of oven until filling is set, about 50 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, tent edges with foil. Transfer pie to a rack to cool, 1 hour; transfer to refrigerator to cool completely.
  • To make the pecan topping, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup light-brown sugar and pecans. Cook, stirring, until sugar is incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon cream; let cool 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture over cooled pie. With a butter knife or spatula, spread mixture over pie. Cool until topping has hardened, about 30 minutes. (Do not refrigerate again; keep pie in a cool place up to 6 hours.)

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH CANDIED PECANS AND COCONUT



Sweet Potato Pie with Candied Pecans and Coconut image

Extra-vibrant garnet yams lend bright color and silky texture to this special holiday pie. Regular sweet potatoes are also delicious in this recipe and just as sweet and moist, but the color of the filling will be a little more muted.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 1/2 pounds garnet yams or sweet potatoes (about 3 medium)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor until combined. Add half of the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal. Add the remaining butter and continue pulsing until no pieces are larger than peas. Add 2 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until combined. Add just enough of the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water, a little at a time, and pulse until the dough just comes together and holds its shape when squeezed. Turn the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, gather into a disc and wrap well. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to an 11-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and refrigerate the dough until chilled, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust several times with the tines of a fork. Fit a piece of aluminum foil over the crust and fill the foil with pie weights or dry beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, return the crust to the oven and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is lightly golden and no longer shiny, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool completely.
  • For the filling: While the crust cools, use a fork to prick the yams all over. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and roast with the oven still at 350 degrees F until very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel and mash until very smooth; you should have about 2 cups. Transfer the mash to a medium bowl and add the cream, brown sugar, vanilla, allspice, ginger, salt and eggs. Whisk just until smooth. Gently tap the bottom of the bowl a few times to release any air bubbles.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake until the center of the pie is set and no longer shiny, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes; if the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil. Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool.
  • For the topping: Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla and salt, stirring until the mixture starts to bubble. Stir in the pecans and cook until the nuts are toasted and have absorbed most of the buttery sugar mixture, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the coconut. Spoon over the pie and press gently to adhere to the filling. Let stand at least 20 minutes to cool. Serve the pie with whipped cream if desired.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS



Candied Sweet Potatoes with Pecans image

This is my favorite style of a Thanksgiving or Christmas time sweet potato side dish, since I'm not really a big fan of whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow toppings. This is a very sweet dish (candied) but more to my liking. The spice and pecans add a whole new level of taste and texture.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 20 minutes. Use a serving spoon to dish this out, making sure to get to some of the sauce from the bottom for each serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and lump-free pie filling, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend seamlessly, preventing curdling or separation.
  • For a flaky and golden-brown pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter adds flavor, while the shortening helps create a tender and flaky texture.
  • To prevent a soggy bottom crust, pre-bake the pie crust before filling it. This creates a barrier between the crust and the wet filling, preventing the crust from becoming soggy.
  • To achieve a glossy and caramelized topping, brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking. The egg wash will create a golden-brown crust and add a touch of shine.
  • For a more flavorful filling, use a combination of pumpkin and sweet potato purees. The sweet potato adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the pie.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense filling. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • To ensure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done. If it comes out with wet filling, the pie needs to bake longer.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin Sweet Potato Pie with Sugared Pecans is a delightful fall dessert that combines the classic flavors of pumpkin pie with the rich sweetness of sweet potatoes. The flaky crust, creamy filling, and crunchy sugared pecans create a symphony of textures and flavors that will surely impress your family and friends. With careful attention to detail and a few simple tips, you can create a pie that is both delicious and visually appealing. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more. Happy baking!
