Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes (3 medium)
1 piece refrigerated pie dough (or 1 disk homemade dough; see page 122)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel off the skins and puree the flesh in a food processor until smooth. (You?ll need 2 cups sweet potato puree.)
  • Gently roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 91/2-inch deep-dish pie dish; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges. Line the crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and continue to bake until the crust is golden on the bottom, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine the sweet potato puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, melted butter, 3 tablespoons rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until combined. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until the filling is set, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it gets too dark.) Place the pie on a rack and let cool, about 2 hours.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and beat with the mixer until thickened. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon rum and the orange zest. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie topped with the whipped cream.

SWEET-POTATO PIE WITH GINGERSNAP PECAN CRUST



Sweet-Potato Pie with Gingersnap Pecan Crust image

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.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For crust
1 cup gingersnap crumbs (from about 4 1/2 ounces gingersnap cookies ground in processor)
1/2 cup walnuts (about 2 1/4 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For filling
1 1/4 cups (packed) well-drained canned yam pieces in light syrup (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of salt
8 walnut halves
Sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend gingersnap crumbs, walnuts, sugar and salt in processor until walnuts are finely chopped. Add butter and process until mixture forms moist crumbs. Press crust onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter metal pie pan.
  • Make filling:
  • Purée yams in processor. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream, brown sugar, egg and yolk, rum, pumpkin pie spice and salt; blend until smooth. Pour into crust. Smooth top. Place walnut halves around edges.
  • Bake until filling is set in center, about 40 minutes. Cool pie on rack. Chill until cold. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Pipe or spoon sweetened whipped cream on top of pie between walnuts, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have cracks or bruises.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes before baking. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender. They should be easy to pierce with a fork when they are done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potatoes. This will make them smooth and creamy.
  • Add the rum, spices, and sugar to the sweet potato puree. Stir until well combined.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pie crust. Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato rum pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of sweet potatoes, rum, and spices creates a flavor that is both comforting and sophisticated. This pie is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
