Time 10h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
2 to 3 medium sweet potatoes (1 3/4 pounds), scrubbed and pricked all over with a fork
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
20 large marshmallows

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Lightly prick bottom of dough with a fork. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line dough with parchment; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake until edges begin to turn golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake until bottom and sides are golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be made up to a day in advance and covered tightly in foil.)
  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Arrange sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Remove and let cool slightly; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and place a foil-lined baking sheet below rack. When cool enough to handle, peel sweet potatoes, discarding skins. Place flesh in a food processor and process until smooth. (Puree can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.)
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Whisk in half-and-half. Add 1 1/4 cups sweet-potato puree; whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into crust (do not overfill). Cover edges with a foil ring, avoiding custard. Place pie dish directly on rack and bake until filling is just set in center, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely, at least 2 hours. Refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, at least 4 hours or, loosely covered, up to 2 days.
  • When ready to serve, spray kitchen shears or a knife with oil; cut marshmallows in half crosswise. Shingle on top of pie in concentric circles, cut-sides down. Move a small kitchen blowtorch back and forth across marshmallows until caramelized, or place pie under the broiler until toasted, 10 to 15 seconds.

SWEET-POTATO-CUSTARD PIE IN ORANGE CRUST



Sweet-Potato-Custard Pie in Orange Crust image

This recipe came to The Times in 1995 in a column about the novelist and farmer Dori Sanders, who cooked it for Thanksgiving on her farm in Flibert, S.C.. It is, some say, quite the best thing to do with a sweet potato. "People tell their life stories through food," Ms. Sanders said. "They talk about how they did it then, how they do it now. The way they talk tells you who they are."

Time 2h

Yield One 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus flour for sprinkling the surface
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chilled vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
3 to 4 tablespoons chilled orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of ground nutmeg
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
2 cups cooked, mashed and sieved sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes)
1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup light cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Large pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the crust, sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter, shortening and orange rind with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  • In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of orange juice with the sugar and nutmeg. Using a fork, stir the orange-juice mixture into the flour mixture to form a soft dough, adding additional orange juice if necessary. Do not overmix. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Press the crust firmly into the plate and trim and crimp, or flute, the edges. Set aside.
  • For the filling, beat the eggs, sugar and sweet potatoes together in a medium bowl. Add the milk and light cream and stir until combined. Add the melted butter, orange juice, vanilla extract, lemon extract, salt and nutmeg, if using, and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake until a knife inserted into the middle of the custard comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Time 3h30m

Yield Makes 1 crust

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse several times to combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and sugar.
  • Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining.
  • Add 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if needed, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overmix.
  • Turn out onto work surface; knead once or twice, until dough comes together. Flatten dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Place dough on a floured piece of parchment or waxed paper. Using knuckles, press edges of dough to help prevent cracking when you roll it out.
  • Roll dough to a 14-inch round. Using parchment, lift and wrap dough around rolling pin; carefully unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently fit into bottom and along sides of plate, being careful not to stretch or tear dough.
  • Using kitchen shears or a paring knife, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang; fold under, and seal to form a rim. Crimp rim with fingertips. Prick bottom of pie dough all over with a fork, to prevent it from puffing up or shrinking in the oven. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • If prebaking the crust, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until crust is firm and golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before filling.

Provided by LRay

Number Of Ingredients 25

FILLING:
3 Pounds yams
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed golden brown sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup half and half
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
CRUST:
1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs &about 6 ounces)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Coarsely chopped pistachios (garnish)
POURING CUSTARD:
Makes about 2 1/2 cups
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • FILLING: Preheat oven to 375ºF. Pierce yams with fork several times. Place on baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool yams slightly. Peel and puree in processor. Using electric mixer, cream 1/2 cup butter with sugar in large bowl until light. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 3 cups yam puree (reserve andy remainder for another use), half and half and next 9 ingredients. (Filling can be prepared 1 day ahead; refrigerate. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature before continuing.) CRUST: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly butter 10-inch pie pan. Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter in bowl. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Pour pie filling into crust. Bake until center of pie is set, about 1 hour. Transfer to rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead). Cut pie into wedges. Transfer to plates. Pour custard around pie. Sprinkle custard with pistachios and serve. POURING CUSTARD: Place milk in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add pod. Scald milk. Remove from heat. Cover and let steep 20 minutes. Using electric mixer, beat yolks and sugar in medium bowl until pale yellow and slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted. Strain milk. Gradually beat into egg mixture. Return mixture to sauce pan and stir over low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 12 minutes; do not bowl. Stain into bowl. Refrigerate until cool, stirring occasionally. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead).

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, orange flesh. Avoid any potatoes that are soft, bruised, or have signs of sprouting.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will make them easier to peel and mash.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Add the sugar, spices, and eggs to the sweet potato puree: Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared orange crust: Bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to firm up.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato custard pie in orange crust is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet potatoes, custard, and orange is simply irresistible. This pie is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for beginner bakers. If you're looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, I highly recommend this sweet potato custard pie in orange crust.
