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.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the creamiest, most flavorful casserole, look for sweet potatoes that are firm and heavy for their size.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes: Roasting the sweet potatoes before mashing them intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly caramelized crust.
  • Use a food processor or blender to mash the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth, lump-free puree.
  • Season the sweet potato puree: Be generous with the spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing can make the filling dense and gummy. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the center is set: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape when you slice it.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato casserole pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful filling and flaky, buttery crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this sweet potato casserole pie a try.
