SWEET POTATO PIE



Sweet Potato Pie image

This mildly-sweet version of the classic Southern pie has a crisp crust and a filling that's surprisingly light. It's rich with egg and boldly spiced with nutmeg, but as fluffy as chiffon (a quality owed to the baking powder in the filling). This means you'll probably have room for two (or three) pieces. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

SWEET POTATO PIE



Sweet Potato Pie image

Custardy and classic, this easy pie shows off the earthy richness of sweet potatoes with a little butter and a blend of warming spices. Be sure to start with good-looking spuds-firm and speckle-free. As they bake, they'll caramelize a bit. Because sweet potatoes vary in sweetness, I have you taste the filling before beating in the eggs to see if you want a touch more sugar.

Time 5h

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 disk Carla's Classic Pie Dough, fitted into a deep-dish pie plate and frozen, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, plus more if needed
1 cup evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 cup (8 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined half-sheet pan. Bake, turning once, until very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When cool enough to handle, take the sweet potatoes out of their jackets and scrape the flesh into a 1-quart measuring cup. You should have 2 1/2 cups packed sweet potato.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Line the frozen dough with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until dry and set, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil with the weights and bake the dough until golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Let cool completely, then place on a half-sheet pan.
  • Transfer the sweet potato to a large bowl and add the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, salt, butter, brown sugar, and the evaporated milk. Beat with a heavy whisk until smooth. Taste and add more brown sugar if you'd like. The amount will depend on the sweetness of your spuds. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour into the pie crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling has puffed and set, about 40 minutes. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Dissolve the sugar and salt in 1/3 cup water and chill until cold.
  • Pulse the flour and butter in a stand mixer until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size pieces. Add the water all at once and mix until the dough almost forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten into two disks.
  • Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before rolling.

Tips:

  • For a creamier pie, use a combination of evaporated milk and heavy cream. Start with a 50/50 mixture and adjust the ratio to taste.
  • If you don't have evaporated milk, you can make your own by simmering regular milk until it has reduced by about half. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • If you're using a pre-made pie crust, be sure to prick the bottom with a fork before baking. This will help prevent it from puffing up.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help it set and slice cleanly.
