PUMPKIN-COCONUT PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, coconut, 2 tablespoons butter, the shortening and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
• Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking 5 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Gently whisk the pumpkin, coconut milk, sugar, eggs, rum, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in a large bowl until combined. Pour into the prepared crust and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake 1 hour. Sprinkle more coconut around the edge of the pie; continue baking until the center is almost set but still jiggles slightly, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Return potatoes to pot over low heat and toss to dry them a bit. Discard cinnamon, cloves and star anise. Force the warm potatoes through a ricer, food mill, or sieve. Boil liquid, if needed, til it is reduced to 1/4 cup. Let sweet potato mash and the liquid cool separately. The sweet potatoes and spiced liquid can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.

The filling should feel firm, not wobbly, and the point of a thin bladed knife should come out clean when inserted into the center. The edge of the filling will be unevenly cracked. If the edge of the pastry darkens too much before the filling is cooked, cover with a pie shield or strips of foil. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving with mounds of the lightly sweetened whipped cream

Tender Pie Crust: 3 cups flour 1 tsp. salt 1 cup solid vegetable shortening, chilled and cut into small pieces 1 large egg 2 to 3 Tbsp. ice water, as needed 1 Tbsp. white vinegar Mix flour and salt in large mixing bowl or food processor. Add shortening land cut in with pastry blender or two knives or pulse in food processor, til largest pieces of shortening are about the size of fat peas. Transfer to large mixing bowl if using processor. In small bowl, beat together egg, 2 Tbsp of ice water, and the vinegar. add to the flour mixture. Work the liquid evenly through the dough with tips of your fingers til it can be collected in a rough ball. If the dough is too dry to come together, gradually sprinkle a few drops of the remaining water over it and continue to work gently til it comes together. Cut dough in half and shape each half into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days. Save 1 disk for another use. About 2 hours before baking, remove dough from refrigerator to allow it to warm up just enough so it won't crack when you roll it. Unwrap dough and roll it between two sheets of wax paper into a round about 12 inches in diameter. Peel off top sheet of paper, Invert 9 inch glass pie plate and center it on the dough. Slide one hand under the bottom sheet of wax paper, position you other hand flat on the pie plate and quickly flip the plate and dough. Peel off the paper and gently press dough down into the plate. With a paring knife, trim dough to within 3/4 inch of the rim. Fold the dough under and crimp edges. Sue the trimmings to patch any cracks or bare spots. Wrap the shell loosely in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. Don't cheat on the chilling time before or after rolling the crust. A well chilled crust won't shrink during baking.
