A rich and spiced dessert pie, Bajan Sweet Potato Pie is a delightful twist on traditional sweet potato dishes, often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions. It features a creamy sweet potato filling infused with warm spices and a hint of citrus.
🧂 Ingredienti
- 1 kg Sweet potatoes(peeled and cubed)
- 100 g Butter(softened)
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 200 ml Evaporated milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg(freshly grated)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Allspice
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 9-inch Pie crust(unbaked, homemade or store-bought)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the unbaked pie crust in a pie dish.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Blind baking the crust for 10-15 minutes can help prevent a soggy bottom. - 2
Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in water until very tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain thoroughly and mash until smooth. Ensure all excess water is removed.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure eggs are well incorporated before adding the next. - 4
Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the butter mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk, grated nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, orange zest, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- 5
Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Fill the crust evenly to ensure consistent baking. - 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The top may develop a slight crack, which is normal.
💡 Consigli Professionali: If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil. - 7
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to fully set.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Chilling the pie in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving can also enhance its texture.
