Sweet Potato And Pecan Pie With Cinnamon Cream Recipes

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH PECAN TOPPING

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.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake sweet potatoes until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool until easily handled.

• Lightly beat eggs. Blend together eggs and sweet potatoes. Stir in sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend in cream. Pour into pie shell.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge of pie comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
• Make the caramelized pecan topping. Combine butter or margarine, brown sugar, and pecans. Gently drop by spoonfuls over cooled pie to cover top. Broil 5 inches below heat until mixture begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully, if cooked too long, top will turn syrupy. Cool on rack.

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH PECANS

Steps:

• For the flaky pie crust: Add the flour, sugar and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is combined. (Alternatively, you can use a large bowl and a pastry blender.)
• Add the butter and pulse until most of the butter is broken into pea-size pieces, about 15 pulses.
• Add 3 tablespoons of the cold water to a small cup. Add the apple cider vinegar. Pour the liquid over the crumbly flour-butter mixture. Pulse until it looks like cottage cheese and there are no large pockets of flour.
• Tip the mixture onto your work surface and gather the dough into a disc. Wrap the disc tightly in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
• For the sweet potato pie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until they are browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes.
• When ready to use, roll the store-bought refrigerated pie crust or homemade Flaky Pie Crust dough into an 11-inch-wide round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and lightly press into the pan. Crimp the edge as desired and set aside.
• To cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave (the quicker method), prick them with a fork all over. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Flip and microwave for an additional 5 minutes. Check to see if they are ready by piercing the flesh with a fork. If it pierces the easily, they are ready. If it doesn't, continue to microwave in 2-minute intervals until tender. (Take care not to overcook or they will dry out.) Alternatively, the sweet potatoes can be pricked all over with a fork, wrapped in foil and roasted in the oven at 375 degrees F for 60 minutes.
• Once the sweet potatoes are tender, carefully cut into quarters so the steam can escape. Once cool, remove the skin and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Mash the cooked sweet potatoes and measure 2 packed cups of flesh (reserve any extra sweet potato for another use). Add the mashed sweet potato and melted butter to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Add the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, orange liqueur, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and orange zest to the food processor. Pulse until combined, about 10 times. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Pulse a few more times to incorporate everything.
• Stir in the toasted pecan halves with a rubber spatula. Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake until puffed in the center, slightly jiggly when shaken and set around the edges, 50 to 55 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack until it firms up and deflates a little. Once room temperature, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill and set completely. Store the pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
