HASSELBACK SWEET POTATO WITH PECAN STREUSEL



Hasselback Sweet Potato with Pecan Streusel image

Sweet potatoes come in different colors, from white to yellow to orange to orange-red. The darker the inside, the sweeter it is. I chose white because I was adding maple syrup and brown sugar, but any sweet potato will do.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOW & PECAN-STREUSEL RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow & Pecan-Streusel Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

TOPPING:
4 whole medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole milk, I used 2% and it worked out fine
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, optional
1 jar marshmallow fluff, or creme
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
3/4 cups flour
3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375°F oven until fork tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, 1 cup milk, you can use half and half for a richer texture, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the pumpkin spice, if using. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough, you don't want to be perfectly smooth. Otherwise, I think the texture is too much like baby food. Your choice. Note: I used a hand mixer, on low speed, in spurts so as not to puree the sweet potatoes too much. Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped, that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them, 3/4 cup flour, and 3/4 stick of melted butter. With a fork, mix until thoroughly combined. Note: You can easily make this a day or two ahead Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top. I used individual ramekins. If adding the marshmallow creme, add it before the topping. You could use miniature marshmallows, but I really liked the creaminess of the marshmallow creme. You could leave the marshmallow out, altogether, and this is still a delicious recipe. Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

SWEET POTATO STREUSEL PIE



Sweet Potato Streusel Pie image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, almonds or pecans
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups canned sweet potato puree
1 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, 2 tablespoons butter, the shortening, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Drizzle in 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
  • Roll out the dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate, fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Chill at least30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights; continue baking until golden all over, 10 to 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
  • Make the topping: Combine the flour, nuts, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl; squeeze into clumps, transfer to a plate and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Gently whisk the sweet potato, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a large bowl. Pour into the crust. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes. Scatter the topping on the pie and continue baking until the center is almost set but still jiggles slightly, 30 to 45 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH GINGERSNAP STREUSEL



Sweet Potato Casserole With Gingersnap Streusel image

This was taken from a magazine I subscribe to, and it is absolutely too good to lose track of, so I am posting it. I made this when I hosted Thanksgiving last year, and it had rave reviews from everyone. At the time I substituted milk for the half and half with no ill-effects. I also made it two weeks ahead of time and stuck it in the freezer until the night before the big day. Enjoy!

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

For the Crust
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup ice water
For the Rum Crème Anglaise
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 vanilla bean, split
1 tablespoon dark rum
For the Filling
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger, or to taste
Pinch of cinnamon, or to taste
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups half-and-half
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
For the Streusel
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
4 to 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced

Steps:

  • To make the crust, put the flour, sugar, coconut, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the egg yolks to the water and, with the machine running, pour it through the feed tube. Pulse until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Turn it out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten it into a disk, and wrap it tightly. Chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • To make the rum crème anglaise, whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and pale yellow. In a medium saucepan, bring the half-and-half to a boil. Remove from the heat. Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the half-and-half to the egg yolks, whisking constantly, to temper them. Transfer the egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining half-and-half and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes; it should register 175°F on an instant-read thermometer. Strain into a bowl and add the vanilla bean and rum. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. (The crème anglaise can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 12-inch round. Fit the dough into a 10-inch fluted pan with a removable bottom, pressing it gently onto the bottom and up the sides. Trim the excess dough. Prick all over the bottom with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Line the tart shell with parchment paper or foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until golden brown and crisp on the bottom. Let cool slightly on a rack before filling, about 20 minutes.
  • To make the filling, prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork. Bake for about 45 minutes, until tender. Let cool.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and pass through a food mill. (You need 2 cups pureed sweet potatoes for the filling.)
  • Lower the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, eggs, sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla extract, half-and-half, and butter and whisk with a sturdy whisk until satiny smooth. (The filling can be made ahead, covered, and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
  • To make the streusel, put the pecans, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse a few times until the mixture comes together a bit. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and, working quickly, rub the mixture between your fingers until the streusel is in lumps slightly larger than peas.
  • Pour the filling into the prebaked crust. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the tart. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is slightly puffed and set in the middle. Let cool slightly on a rack. To serve, cut the tart into wedges and drizzle with rum crème anglaise.
  • Variation:
  • Cinnamon crème anglaise is another worthy companion if rum doesn't suit your fancy. Simply omit the rum and add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon along with the vanilla.

Place back into the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and brown (keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don't burn). You can also place it under the broiler very briefly to add a little more color to the marshmallows.
