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.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 refrigerated, rolled store-bought pie crust
2 cups peeled, cooked and pureed sweet potatoes, cooled
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum, such as Appleton Estate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Pinch salt
2 large eggs
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
1/4 teaspoon orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Gently roll out the pie dough and line a 9-inch, deep pie dish with it. Trim the excess dough from the edges, and set aside.
  • Using an electric hand mixer, combine the sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, butter, 3 tablespoons of the rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs. Mix thoroughly. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Place the pie on a rack to cool, about 2 hours.
  • Pour the cream in a bowl and whisk with an electric hand mixer. When it starts to thicken, 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 whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use a sweet potato that is firm and not too large. This will help ensure that the pie has a good texture and doesn't get too mushy.
  • Prick the sweet potato all over with a fork before baking. This will help the potato cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potato until it is tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about an hour.
  • Let the sweet potato cool slightly before handling it. This will help prevent the potato from breaking apart.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potato. This will help create a smooth and creamy filling for the pie.
  • Add your desired spices and flavorings to the sweet potato puree. This could include things like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, vanilla extract, or rum extract.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into a pie crust and bake until the filling is set. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling firm up and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato pie is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, sweet potato pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
