SOUTHERN SWEET POTATO PIE

Southern Sweet Potato Pie image

Traditional Southern-style sweet potato pie. This is my mother's recipe, but she's Mimi to my kids, so in our house we call this dish Mimi's sweet potato pie. It's delicious right out of the oven, at room temp, or right out of the refrigerator.

This Mississippi sweet potato pie is very popular in the South. It's a particular favorite at our house because we always have plenty of sweet potatoes in our garden. Try it with a dollop of whipped cream. -Bonnie Holcomb, Fulton, Mississippi

RED VELVET PIE

Red Velvet Pie image

This pie reveals two lovely layers when sliced: A smooth cream cheese layer on the bottom and sweet red velvet cake batter on top. Be sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. It's delicious finished with whipped cream, but you can always slather on a thin layer of your favorite cream cheese frosting if you're feeling extra-decadent.

Time 2h

Yield One 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 prepared pie crust, fitted into a 9-inch pie plate
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg white, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the prepared pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to fill.
For the cream cheese layer: Cream the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Spoon the cream cheese filling into the crust and spread evenly. Chill in the freezer to firm the base while you make the second layer.
For the red velvet layer: Whisk the flour, cocoa powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In the same mixer bowl you used for the cream cheese layer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and egg white and mix to combine.
Add the vanilla and food coloring and mix well, then add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Spoon the red filling into the chilled pie and spread into an even layer.
Bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling springs back when touched lightly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
