Ingredients
- One batch Sweet Dough, for a 1-crust pie (recipe above)
Filling:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups light cream or half-and-half
Directions
Prepare and chill the dough.
Bake sweet potatoes for 1 hour at 350 degrees, or until soft. Cool, peel and puree in the food processor.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the lowest level. For the bottom crust, lightly flour the work surface and the dough and roll it to a 12-inch disk. Fold the dough in half and place it in the pan; unfold the dough and press it firmly into the pan. Trim away all but 1/2-inch excess dough at edge of pan. Fold dough under and flute edge.
For the filling, scrape pumpkin into a bowl and whisk in eggs and yolks. Whisk in remaining ingredients in order, whisking smooth between each addition. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie for about 1 hour, until the crust is baked through and the filling is set. Cool the pie on a rack.
For Squash Pie, halve, seed and wrap in foil, one large acorn squash and substitute for sweet potatoes, above

I was looking for a light dessert that combines pumpkin and sweet potatos together and this was the only one i found!! I made the mixture from fresh meduim pumpkin (cooked, 1 sweet p., 1 egg, 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla, 1 cup skim milk in the food processor untill very smooth. I sprayed a pan and i elimianted the pie crust to be even lighter, and poured the mixture in with some rasains and coconut. Preheat oven 400. It was delicious even warm and very silky like the consistency of a pudding. My husband loved it and I did too. I prefered it warm though. Next time I'll use splenda instead of sugar and it will be guilt free!! :

I made this pie for my husband. Since he absolutely LOVES sweet potatoes I figured I couldn't go wrong with this one. And I was right. this pie was not only fantastic but it was so easy to make. I actually did bake the sweet potatoes in the oven but then thought next time I could try them in the microwave to speed up the process. Then I just put sweet potatoes and all liquids in the blender. Once that was mixed I added the sugar and spices. So good and no lumps! I'll be making this for my father-in-law this weekend.
