Kimba recalls, 'I'm a Thanksgiving baby, so my mom ate about 40 pounds of sweet potatoes (with marshmallows). And while I’ve had my fill, this is a fine addition or alternative to the holiday dessert tray.' (From LandOLakes.com)
Prep Time: 30 min
Baking Time: 50 min
Yield: 8 servings
Crust Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold Land O Lakes butter
3 to 4 tbsp cold water
Filling Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups firmly packed Dixie Crystals brown sugar
4 medium (1-1/2 cups) sweet potatoes, cooked skins removed, mashed*
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup evaporated milk
3 eggs
Topping Ingredients:
Land O Lakes heavy whipping cream, whipped; sweetened, if desired.
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt in small bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with fork just until flour is moistened. Shape into ball; flatten slightly.
Roll out ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch pie pan; unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan. Crimp or flute edge. Set aside.
Combine all filling ingredients except evaporated milk, eggs and whipped cream in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add milk and eggs. Beat until well mixed.
Pour filling into crust. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. If crust is browning too quickly, cover edge with 2-inch strip of aluminum foil. Cool completely. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. Store refrigerated.
*Substitute 1-1/2 cups vacuum-packed canned mashed sweet potatoes.
