SWEET-POTATO PIE WITH GINGERSNAP PECAN CRUST
In many sweet-potato pies, the ginger and spices overwhelm the flavor of the potatoes. This version plays to the flavor of the tubers; a little spicy nuttiness from the gingersnap pecan crust just emphasizes the pie's luscious creaminess. It is perfectly normal for the surface of a custardy pie, like this one, to crack in the course of baking and cooling-the pie will taste no less delicious.

Steps:
- Make crust:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour pie plate, knocking out excess flour.
- Toss together all crust ingredients in a bowl with a fork until crumbs are moistened, then press evenly over bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake crust 6 minutes, then cool on a rack.
- Make filling:
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
- Prick each sweet potato once with a fork. Roast in a foil-lined shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Halve potatoes lengthwise and cool.
- While potatoes cool, cook sugar in a dry 8-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar melts into a deep golden caramel. Remove from heat. Carefully pour water down side of skillet (mixture will bubble and steam vigorously), then return to heat and simmer, stirring, until hardened caramel is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel, then cut away any eyes or dark spots. Purée potatoes in a food processor until smooth, then add eggs, cinnamon, and salt and blend until smooth. Add milk, caramel, rum, and vanilla, and blend until combined well.
- Pour filling into crust. Bake until filling 2 inches from edge is slightly puffed and center trembles slightly when gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes (top may crack; filling will continue to set as it cools). If the crust begins to brown too much before the filling is done, crimp a ring of foil or use a pie shield to protect it. Cool pie on rack about 1 hour.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add beaten egg and milk; beat about 2 minutes. Stir in flour to moisten ingredients. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
- Roll out dough into 14-inch circle on lightly floured wax paper, or on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a deep 9-inch pie plate; remove wax paper if using. Press pastry into plate and flute edges.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Make the sweet potato filling: In a large bowl, combine potato, butter, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, beaten egg, heavy cream and sugar. Beat at medium speed until mixture is smooth. Spread on bottom of pie crust.
- Make the pecan filling: Sprinkle sweet potato filling with pecans. In another bowl, combine sugar, eggs, melted butter, corn syrup, salt, cinnamon and vanilla and beat well. Pour over pecans.
- Transfer pie to oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Cool.
- Make the chantilly cream: Whip heavy cream with sugar, orange liqueur and Cognac. Top each slice of pie with a dollop of cream.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the pecan filling. This will save you time and help you get a smooth, consistent filling.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pecans by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
- Toast the pecans before adding them to the filling. This will help bring out their flavor.
- Don't overcook the sweet potato filling. It should be cooked through, but still slightly firm.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato pecan pie is a delicious and unique twist on the classic pecan pie. The sweet potato filling is smooth and creamy, and the pecan filling is rich and flavorful.
