Time 5h13m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
¾ cup butter, cubed
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
3 cups cooked and mashed Japanese purple sweet potatoes
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups cold water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup cornstarch
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
2 cups shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Mix flour and 1/3 cup white sugar together in a large bowl. Rub in butter with your fingers until mixture is sandy. Press into the greased baking pan.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup white sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in mashed sweet potatoes, milk, and vanilla extract until batter is the consistency of pancake batter. Pour over the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potato layer is firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk water, 1/2 cup white sugar, and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Pour coconut milk into a 5-quart saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, about 5 minutes. Pour in water mixture, whisking constantly until coconut milk thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in shredded coconut; cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes more.
  • Pour coconut mixture over sweet potato layer. Refrigerate until firm, 4 hours to overnight.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny.

This pie was a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I might try using a different type of flour next time.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have added too much sugar. I'll try again with less sugar next time.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk for the coconut milk. The pie turned out great! I'm so happy I found this recipe.
