MINI SWEET POTATO PIES



Mini Sweet Potato Pies image

Coconut milk gives the spiced sweet potato filling in these small pies a delicate custard texture, and coconut flakes on top deliver a toasted nuttiness. This recipe calls for pressing two dozen tiny crusts into a mini-muffin tin, which may seem tedious, but is easy with the help of a wine or champagne cork, which is the ideal size for tamping down the graham cracker crumbs. These two-bite (OK, one-bite) pies need to be chilled, so they're ideal for making ahead and can be refrigerated for up to three days.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 dozen mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium sweet potato (10 ounces/285 grams), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, well shaken
1 teaspoon dark rum or vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup/45 grams unsweetened coconut flakes
5 whole graham crackers, finely ground (2/3 cup/80 grams)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Start the filling: Prepare a steamer. Steam the sweet potato over medium-high heat until falling-apart tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the sweet potato to a food processor and purée until smooth. Alternatively, smash and stir with a heavy whisk until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cups of a mini-muffin tin with paper liners. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the butter, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
  • Divide mixture evenly among the mini-muffin liners (about 1 packed teaspoon per cup). Using a wine cork or your fingertips, firmly press the crumbs into an even layer. Bake until brown at the edges, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • While the crust bakes, finish the filling: Smash the sugar, butter, pumpkin pie spice and salt until well combined, then stir in 3/4 cup sweet potato, the coconut milk and the rum until smooth. Stir in the egg until just incorporated.
  • When the crusts are done, divide the filling among the hot crusts (about 1 tablespoon per cup). Sprinkle with the coconut flakes. Return to the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Bake until the coconut is golden brown and the pies are set, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack until room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Selecting Sweet Potatoes: Choose firm and smooth sweet potatoes. Avoid any with bruises or blemishes.
  • Baking Sweet Potatoes: Pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking. This allows steam to escape and prevents them from bursting.
  • Mashing Sweet Potatoes: Use a potato masher or ricer to achieve a smooth and lump-free texture.
  • Measuring Flour: Use the spoon and level method to measure flour accurately. Scoop flour into a measuring cup using a spoon and then level it off with a knife or straight edge.
  • Chilling Pie Crust: Chill the pie crust before baking to prevent it from shrinking excessively.
  • Preventing Soggy Pie Crust: Brush the inside of the pie crust with melted butter before adding the filling. This creates a barrier that helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Baking the Pies: Bake the pies in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking. Check the pies regularly to prevent overbaking.
  • Whipping Cream Cheese: Use cold cream cheese and butter for the whipped topping. This will help it whip up more easily and hold its shape better.
  • Adding Flavor to Whipped Topping: Use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to add flavor to the whipped topping.
  • Storing the Pies: Store the pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pies for up to 2 months. Before serving, thaw the pies in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.

Conclusion:

Mini Sweet Potato Pies with Whipped Cinnamon Cream Cheese Topping offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Made with a sweet potato filling nestled in a flaky pie crust and topped with a creamy, cinnamon-infused whipped cream cheese, these pies are perfect for special occasions or everyday enjoyment.
