    Pecan-Topped Sweet Potato Pie

    Published Nov 19, 2010

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    close up of sweet potato pie

    Though I generally don't get excited about holidays, Thanksgiving is one exception...

    pie crust

    ...because I get to bake PIES. LOTS OF PIES. Thanksgiving is the only day of the year that I am not considered a total freak show when I bake FIVE PIES in one day. That's something to give thanks for.

    sweet potato mix in a jug

    I won't lie to you: baking five pies is no piece of, um, cake to begin with, but things get even more complicated with my family. There's my raw-foodist mother. My gluten-intolerant sister. My niece with the dairy allergy (when she feels like it). And my half-sister's mom's partner can't have sugar.

    pie mix being stirred

    So one year, trying to please everyone, I made an (almost) raw pumpkin pie à la Cafe Gratitude (I drew the line at raw pumpkin, though),with a date-pecan crust and nut-milk based filling sweetened with agave. But my cousin complained because she's allergic to... dates.

    pie mix being poured into pie dish

    Despite the abundance of gastronomical particularities, however, I know that each and every picky family member will 'cheat' and at least 'taste' a bit of everything.

    For all of you 'dead-food'-eating, butter-loving, sugar-crazed bakers out there who indulge in just about everything (or are willing to cheat) here is a no-holds-barred pie that is now one of my faves.

    bottle of whisky

    And, if you're not a raw-foodist or allergic to dairy, sugar or gluten, it's actually not too unhealthy. The filling is comprised of sweet potato, eggs and milk, sweetened judiciously with white and brown sugars. (Pay no attention to the whisky behind the curtain.) I use whole spelt flour in the crust because I am a dirty hippy. Just kidding! I use it because not only is it full of healthy things, it is low in gluten and thereby creates and tender and lovely crust. Also, I used an all-butter, sourdough pate brisee for the crust, but Martha's pate brisee (from whence I adapted it) is a perfect substitute, lacking sourdough starter. (If you want some, though, and you're willing to come and get it, I'm happy share.)

    pie in a dish

    Perhaps because I have never been to the South, the only sweet potato pie I've ever had that I didn't make was at a jazz festival in LA many years ago. Now I make Cook's recipe at least once a year, and it has become one of mine and Jay's very favorite desserts.

    pecans being sprinkled onto pie

    Or sometimes breakfasts. Hey, I said it was healthy-ish.

    Anyway, this time I wanted to mix things up. In the article preceding the recipe, Cook's mentions testing a hybrid pecan-sweet potato pie, which they describe as being well-loved but 'unwieldy.' Inspired by a pumpkin-pecan-praline pie in an issue of Cook's Country, I decided to combine the two. The pecan topping complimented the smooth custard so perfectly that I can't imagine ever going back.

    pecan topped pie on a plate

    What I appreciate so much about Cook's sweet potato pie is that it really tastes like sweet potato. Unlike traditional molasses- and spice-heavy pies (or so I've heard... from Cook's), here judicious amounts of nutmeg, bourbon, vanilla, and butter enhance, rather than mask, its natural flavor (though the larger amount of bourbon does give it a lovely boozy taste). I did make a few tweaks to the original recipe in that I deleted the additional egg yolks (only because I already have too many pesky whites), and decreased the sweetener, adding brown sugar to the mix for its molasses flavor. I don't know whether it was just my imagination, but the filling looked and tasted brighter than ever before. The crunchy-gooey topping takes this pie over the top, and a dollop of maple-sweetened whipped cream makes an ideal foil.

    sweet potato pie topped with pecans

    Another direction to go would be to use coconut milk and dark rum in the pie, and grated panela, palm sugar or muscovado in place of the brown sugar in the topping.In fact, it would be quite reminiscent of the rum-laced mashed sweet potatoes my mom tops with pecans every year for Thanksgiving.

    Despite being a raw foodist.

    Cheater.

    Pecan-Topped Sweet Potato Pie

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    This is the only Thanksgiving pie you will need!
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
    Chilling time: 2 hours
    Total: 2 hours 35 minutes
    Servings: 8 servings.

    Ingredients

    Sourdough Pate Brisee:

    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup whole wheat or whole spelt flour (or use all AP)
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
    • 4 ounces very cold unsalted butter, in 1/2" dice (1 stick, 1/2 cup)
    • 4 ounces liquid sourdough starter (about 1/2 cup)

    Sweet Potato Filling:

    • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (3-4 medium) (or 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes)
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 3 eggs
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 - 3 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2/3 cup whole milk

    Maple Pecan Topping:

    • 1 cup pecans
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
    • a few pinches flaky salt, such as Maldon

    Maple Whipped Cream (for serving, optional):

    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    For the crust:

    • In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt and sugar. Add the butter and rub with your fingertips until the mixture looks like gravel, with some butter worked in and some 1/4" chunks remaining. Gradually add the starter, folding the mixture with a spoon or your hands until it just starts to come together into large clumps, with no floury bits remaining. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into an 8" disc, wrap in plastic and chill at least 30 minutes. (The dough will keep, refrigerated, for several days, or tuck into a ziploc bag and freeze for up to a couple of months.)
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12" round, flouring the top of the dough and the rolling pin as needed. Fit the dough into a 9" pie pan, trim the edge to a 1" overhang, and tuck it under. Flute the crust. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, then freeze for 20 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400º. If you have a baking stone, set it on the rack.
    • Place the frozen crust on a rimmed baking sheet, place a round of parchment paper inside the crust, and line with pie weights (or dried beans or cleaned pennies - I keep mine in a cheesecloth bag for easy handling.)
    • Bake the crust until the bottom looks dry and light in color underneath the parchment, 20 - 30 minutes. Carefully remove the weights and continue baking the crust until light golden brown on the bottom, 5 more minutes.

    For the filling:

    • Prick the potatoes several times with a fork. Place on a small sheet pan lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven at 400º until collapsing and oozing juices, 40 minutes to 1 hour. (They should be quite tender when squeezed with a pair of tongs.) Let cool until handleable, then peel and scoop out two cups of flesh. Add the butter to the warm flesh and mash smooth with a fork (some fibers and lumps are ok.) Set aside.
    • Reduce the oven temperature to 350º.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, nutmeg and salt until smooth. Whisk in the bourbon, vanilla and milk, then whisk the egg mixture into the sweet potato mixture until combined.
    • Pour the filling into the warm, par-baked crust (this will reduce the baking time and ensure a crisp bottom crust). Place on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and place the baking sheet in the oven, on the baking stone if using. Bake until the filling is puffed and beginning to crack around the edges and the pie wobbles like jello when shaken (but not in a wet, jiggly way), about 45 minutes.

    Pecan Topping:

    • Spread the pecans on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant and crisp, 12 minutes. Let cool until handleable, then use your fingers to break them into small pieces (this results in more regular pieces and less 'dust' than chopping). Combine the pecans in a medium bowl with the sugar, maple syrup and sea salt.
    • When the pie has finished baking, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the pinches of flaky salt. Return to the oven and bake for 10 or 15 more minutes.
    • Let the pie cool at least 2 hours, then slice and serve. (For cleaner slices, chill the pie before cutting.)The pie keeps well in the fridge for up to several days, though the crust will be crispest on the day it is baked.

    Maple Whipped Cream:

    • Whip the cream either in a bowl with a whisk or in a stand mixer fitted with the whip, until it holds soft peaks. Add the maple syrup to taste and the vanilla extract.

    Notes

    Use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for this pie, such as garnet or jewel.
    If you lack sourdough starter, use the Flakiest, All-Butter Pie Dough instead.
    The most efficient order in which to make this pie is as follows:
    1) Make the pie dough. Chill. (The dough, that is.)
    2) Roast the sweet taters.
    3) Roll out the dough, fit it into the pan, chill for 1/2 hour, freeze 20 minutes.
    4) Par-bake crust.
    5) While crust bakes, make the pie filling. Pour into the hot crust and
    6) Bake the pie.
    7) While the pie bakes, make the pecan topping. 8) Sprinkle topping on pie, bake.
    9) Cool 2 hours.

      Thanksgiving is my 50th Birthday. If I am going to celebrate with anything it will be with this pie. Besides, having a shot of bourbon on the side will be just the birthday cheer that I need:-0 I use coconut milk and cream in almost everything that uses milk. I may even use the coconut cream in place of the whipped cream. Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi. I'm making this for book group this week. If I use coconut milk, is it an exact replacement of the whole milk? 2/3 cup? And do you mean coconut milk from a can or the kind you can buy in a box, like the way almond milk is packaged? Thank you!

        Hi Lani, I think you could use either type of coconut milk here; canned milk will be richer and would probably be my pick. And yes, same amount (2/3 cup) should be right. Let me know how it goes!

      Pies were a success, whew! Scary trying out new recipes for guests. I loved the coconut milk one b/c I'm crazy about anything coconut, but probably the whole milk one was better in terms of letting the sweet potato flavor shine through. I thought I had bourbon, but I didn't, so I had to do without. Also only made topping for one of the pies, which was a mistake. Thought it would be too sweet, but definitely was not. Thank you!!!

      Do you think this would be a good substitute for a sweet potato casserole? Sans the pie crust, with the pecan topping mixed in, and a browned meringue topping?

I hope so because it's #piday and I'm sharing this cheesy spinach & leek quiche in a flaky gluten-free crust! 

The trick to getting a crisp crust is 
1. parbake the crust before adding the filling
2. brush the crust with egg white – this creates a barrier between the crisp crust and custardy filling
3. bake on the lower rack of the oven (preferably on a pizza stone if you've got one)

You'll get a golden, crisp bottom crust that keeps well for a couple of days in the fridge.

    Twas a good week for cookies - but not much else! Twas a good week for cookies - but not much else! 

I had a pinched nerve in my ribs which felt like being stabbed in the side with a knife - so painful! This was probably caused by some overzealous (on my part) chiropractic work that had unintended consequences. 

Thank goodness for muscle relaxants and non-force chiros, I'm feeling much better after a very painful ~10 days! 

In other news, COOKIES. These oatmeal teff chocolate chip cookies were a late addition to my book, and I shared them on TBG 7 (!) years ago. 

I've been craving these cookies lately and wanted to see if they could be made refined sugar-free with coconut sugar (they can!) and I made some updates to the post body as well. 

Love love love the butterscotchy flavor of teff here, which pairs beautifully with chewy oats, toasty walnuts, and bittersweet chocolate. When perfectly underbaked, these stay moist and chewy for days. Or chill the dough balls and bake them off to order for warm, fresh cookies every day. Bojon appétit!
