Rum Raisin Sweet Potato Pie Recipes

RUM SWEET POTATO PIE

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 RUM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Gently roll out the pie dough and line a 9-inch, deep pie dish with it. Trim the excess dough from the edges, and set aside.
• Using an electric hand mixer, combine the sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, butter, 3 tablespoons of the rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs. Mix thoroughly. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Place the pie on a rack to cool, about 2 hours.
• Pour the cream in a bowl and whisk with an electric hand mixer. When it starts to thicken, 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 whipped cream.

SWEET POTATOES WITH RUM

Steps:

• Boil the whole, unpeeled, sweet potatoes until tender but not too soft-- it will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your potatoes.
• Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Arrange the slices in an attractive overlapping pattern in a buttered shallow baking dish.
• Dot with butter pieces, then sprinkle with brown sugar and raisins, if using.
• Drizzle the rum over all.
• Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and glazed, about 30 minutes.

RUM-RAISIN PIE

Steps:

• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to a 12-inch round, a bit less than 1/4 inch thick; fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim dough flush with edge of pie plate, then make 1/2-inch cuts at 3/4-inch intervals all around edge. Bend every other tab of crust forward. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line shell with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights. Bake until edge of crust begins to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Remove parchment and weights. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake until pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Bring 3 cups cream almost to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and salt in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in hot cream, whisking constantly until combined; return cream mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and hold a line when you drag a finger through it, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in rum. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Separate any raisins that are stuck together. Arrange raisins in an even layer on bottom of cooled crust. Carefully pour in hot custard. Bake until center is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Before serving, put remaining 2/3 cup cream and the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Serve pie with whipped cream.

• 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.
