Steps:
- To make the sweet potato puree, cover sweet potatoes with water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; puree in a food processor until completely smooth. Let cool completely before using (refrigerate or freeze for quicker cooling).
- To make filling, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Add sweet-potato puree, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 cup cream; whisk until completely smooth. Place cooled crust on a rimmed baking sheet; pour filling into crust. (If using a store-bought crust, defrost 10 minutes; prick bottom all over with a fork.)
- Bake pie on lowest rack of oven until filling is set, about 50 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, tent edges with foil. Transfer pie to a rack to cool, 1 hour; transfer to refrigerator to cool completely.
- To make the pecan topping, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup light-brown sugar and pecans. Cook, stirring, until sugar is incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon cream; let cool 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture over cooled pie. With a butter knife or spatula, spread mixture over pie. Cool until topping has hardened, about 30 minutes. (Do not refrigerate again; keep pie in a cool place up to 6 hours.)
PAUL PRUDHOMME'S SWEET POTATO PECAN PIE
This recipe came to The Times in 1983 from Paul Prudhomme, the chef who helped put the cooking of Louisiana on the American culinary map. Like its traditional pecan pie cousin, this is very sweet, so serve it with a little Chantilly cream on top.

Tips:

- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before filling it.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
- To make the pie ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let the pie come to room temperature for about an hour before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato pecan pie is a delicious and unique twist on the classic pecan pie. The sweet potato filling is creamy and flavorful, and the pecan topping is the perfect finishing touch. This pie is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
