SWEET POTATO PIE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST
Steps:
- To make the crust: To make gingersnap cookie crust, take 28-30 gingersnap cookies (enough to make 1 1/2 cups) and crush in a food processor (alternatively put the cookies in a plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin). Combine with the melted butter and sugar and spread into a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Set aside. For Filling: Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast sweet potatoes in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until soft when pierced with a fork. Set aside until cool enough to handle. When cool, slice open and spoon out flesh to measure 2 1/4 cups. Put flesh in blender with butter and blend just until the butter is mixed in. Add both sugars, eggs, half and half, rum, vanilla, flour, salt and pumkin pie spice. Blend until mixed and slightly thick (30 seconds to 1 minute). Pour into gingersnap crust and bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife insterted in to the center comes out clean. The pie will puff slightly and settle back down as it cools.

[email protected]I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.
