SWEET POTATO PIE



Sweet Potato Pie image

Makes 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
6 tablespoons cold water
Filling:
3 cups mashed cooked sweet potato
½ (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1½ cups sugar
¼ cup half-and-half
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Garnish: sweetened whipped cream, ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For crust: In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly, about 30 seconds. With processor running, add 6 tablespoons cold water in slow, steady stream until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ¼-inch thickness. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • For filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sweet potato and cream cheese at high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add sugar and half-and-half; beat for 5 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Beat in melted butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined. Pour into prepared crust. Cover edges with foil.
  • Bake on lowest oven rack until filling is set around edges and center jiggles slightly when gently shaken, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Garnish with whipped cream and nutmeg, if desired. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

DEEP DISH SWEET POTATO PIES



Deep Dish Sweet Potato Pies image

These Pies were on our dessert menu for the July 04th Holiday. The flavors were really great, & this time I remembered to take pictures as I made the pies, but don't have one after it was cut, because they both went so fast. I prefer mine cold from the fridge. This recipe makes 2 Deep Dish Pie Plate size pies, or 3 store bought...

Categories     Pies

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium size sweet potatoes about 3- 3 1/2 pounds.
4 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp wondra flour
1 can(s) evaporated milk (12 ounce)
1 Tbsp lemon extract
1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste
2 c granulated sugar
1 pkg 15 oz size double crust refrigerated pie crust roll
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • 1. I discovered Vanilla Bean paste several months ago, and was so pleased with the results that I have been using it every since. It is the consistency of a thick syrup, and has the little black specks in it, like the actual vanilla bean, and to me it packs a lot more flavor, so I bought a 32 oz. size because it was more economical. But you can use vanilla extract if you don't have the paste. I NEVER USE IMITATION VANILLA BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH FLAVOR for my taste.
  • 2. Add the sweet potatoes to a large pot and cover with water, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes or so.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Allow potatoes to cool long enough so you can peel them then add to a large bowl. Add 1 stick of butter to potatoes while still hot. If not hot enough nuke them in the microwave till they are hot enough to melt the butter.
  • 4. Beat potatoes with a hand mixer to melt butter, then remove any strings that wrap around the blades of the beater from the sweet potatoes. May need to repeat several times.
  • 5. In a medium size bowl, add the sugar, Wondra flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and stir to blend.
  • 6. Add the sugar alternately to the potatoes
  • 7. with the evaporated milk, beating well after each addition
  • 8. Add lemon Extract and Vanilla Bean paste. Beat until it is blended.
  • 9. Add eggs and beat well to blend. Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula, and beat again until blended.
  • 10. Pour filling into prepared Pie Crust. Then place in preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for 1 hour, center of pie will shake slightly but will settle upon cooling. Cool then refrigerate
  • 11. Cut and serve when cooled. Top with cool whip and chopped nuts if desired or serve plain. Will add a picture real soon.

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.
