Mrs Cs Sweet Potato Pie Recipes

SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, butter and salt together in a medium bowl until well blended. Press the mixture into the pie plate. Bake until set and the crust feels firm, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• To make the cheesecake filling: In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar and salt, mixing at low speed until the mixture is smooth with no lumps, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and eggs.
• Add the filling to the crust, smooth the top, and chill in the freezer until the filling is sturdy and set up, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• For the sweet potato topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Whisk in the sweet potatoes, half and half, butter, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Pour slowly over the chilled cheesecake filling.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake, covering the edges with foil if it browns too quickly, until set along the outside and the center still has a slight jiggle, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating until ready to serve.

MINI SWEET POTATO PIES

Steps:

• For the mini sweet potato pies: Pierce the skin of the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then microwave on high until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie crusts on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into chunks. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the cream, brown sugar, orange juice, butter, pineapple, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves and eggs and pulse until the mixture is combined and smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the crusts on the baking sheet. Bake until the pies are slightly browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour or refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the pecan pineapple topping: Add the pecans, cinnamon, salt and cayenne to a small skillet and cook over high heat until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pineapple pieces and remove from the heat. Sprinkle the topping over the pies before serving.

SWEET-POTATO CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Lightly prick bottom of dough with a fork. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line dough with parchment; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake until edges begin to turn golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake until bottom and sides are golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be made up to a day in advance and covered tightly in foil.)
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees. Arrange sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Remove and let cool slightly; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and place a foil-lined baking sheet below rack. When cool enough to handle, peel sweet potatoes, discarding skins. Place flesh in a food processor and process until smooth. (Puree can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.)
• In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Whisk in half-and-half. Add 1 1/4 cups sweet-potato puree; whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into crust (do not overfill). Cover edges with a foil ring, avoiding custard. Place pie dish directly on rack and bake until filling is just set in center, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely, at least 2 hours. Refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, at least 4 hours or, loosely covered, up to 2 days.
• When ready to serve, spray kitchen shears or a knife with oil; cut marshmallows in half crosswise. Shingle on top of pie in concentric circles, cut-sides down. Move a small kitchen blowtorch back and forth across marshmallows until caramelized, or place pie under the broiler until toasted, 10 to 15 seconds.
