Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Ii Food

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH CANDIED PECANS AND COCONUT

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor until combined. Add half of the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal. Add the remaining butter and continue pulsing until no pieces are larger than peas. Add 2 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until combined. Add just enough of the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water, a little at a time, and pulse until the dough just comes together and holds its shape when squeezed. Turn the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, gather into a disc and wrap well. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to an 11-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and refrigerate the dough until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust several times with the tines of a fork. Fit a piece of aluminum foil over the crust and fill the foil with pie weights or dry beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, return the crust to the oven and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is lightly golden and no longer shiny, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool completely.
• For the filling: While the crust cools, use a fork to prick the yams all over. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and roast with the oven still at 350 degrees F until very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel and mash until very smooth; you should have about 2 cups. Transfer the mash to a medium bowl and add the cream, brown sugar, vanilla, allspice, ginger, salt and eggs. Whisk just until smooth. Gently tap the bottom of the bowl a few times to release any air bubbles.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake until the center of the pie is set and no longer shiny, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes; if the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil. Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool.
• For the topping: Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla and salt, stirring until the mixture starts to bubble. Stir in the pecans and cook until the nuts are toasted and have absorbed most of the buttery sugar mixture, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the coconut. Spoon over the pie and press gently to adhere to the filling. Let stand at least 20 minutes to cool. Serve the pie with whipped cream if desired.

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.
