Sweet Potato-Pecan Pie
Yield: 8 servings
1 recipe flaky pie pastry
2 T unsalted butter
1 c cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 ts ground ginger
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/2 ts freshly grated nutmeg
1 ts vanilla extract
1/2 ts salt
1/2 c dark corn syrup
1 c evaporated milk
1 1/2 c coarsely chopped pecans
1 pt whipping cream
3 T powdered sugar
1/4 c praline liqueur or Frangelico
Prepare pastry and chill. Preheat oven to 375F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out chilled pastry into a
1/16-inch-thick circle. Gently roll pastry around rolling pin,
unroll into a 9-inch pie pan. Gently ease pastry into bottom of

excess pastry. Flute edges, if desired. Refrigerate until ready
to bake.
In a large bowl, stir butter into sweet potatoes. Add all remaining
ingredients except pecans, blend well.
Pour sweet-potato filling into prepared pie crust, sprinkle chopped
pecans evenly over top. Bake in preheated oven until filling is
set and a knife inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 45
minutes. Cool in pan on a rack to room temperature before slicing.
Prepare topping. To serve, top with topping. Top with pecan
halves.
Combine cream, powdered sugar and liqueur in a large bowl. Beat
with an electric mixer until large, soft peaks form. Refrigerate,
covered, until ready to serve.
