Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 refrigerated, rolled store-bought pie crust
2 cups peeled, cooked and pureed sweet potatoes, cooled
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum, such as Appleton Estate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Pinch salt
2 large eggs
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
1/4 teaspoon orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Gently roll out the pie dough and line a 9-inch, deep pie dish with it. Trim the excess dough from the edges, and set aside.
  • Using an electric hand mixer, combine the sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, butter, 3 tablespoons of the rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs. Mix thoroughly. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Place the pie on a rack to cool, about 2 hours.
  • Pour the cream in a bowl and whisk with an electric hand mixer. When it starts to thicken, add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon rum and the orange zest. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie topped with whipped cream.

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes (3 medium)
1 piece refrigerated pie dough (or 1 disk homemade dough; see page 122)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel off the skins and puree the flesh in a food processor until smooth. (You?ll need 2 cups sweet potato puree.)
  • Gently roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 91/2-inch deep-dish pie dish; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges. Line the crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and continue to bake until the crust is golden on the bottom, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine the sweet potato puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, melted butter, 3 tablespoons rum, the vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until combined. Add the coconut milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake until the filling is set, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it gets too dark.) Place the pie on a rack and let cool, about 2 hours.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and beat with the mixer until thickened. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon rum and the orange zest. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie topped with the whipped cream.

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup dark rum
2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest (finely grated)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger (or use fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup juice squeezed from fresh orange
1 cup dried unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest (finely grated)
1/2 cup dried unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Soak the raisins in rum for at least 30 minutes to plump them up.
  • Meanwhile peel, dice and boil sweet potatoes until tender. Mash and let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350º, and prepare 13 X 9 baking pan with cooking spray and a little flour.
  • Combine all of the cake ingredients (except raisins) in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. With an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Fold in the raisin/rum mixture. Spread into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, melt the butter in a large saucepan, and allow it to brown just lightly. Remove from the heat and add the remaining frosting ingredients. Beat until smooth and creamy. You can add a little additional rum, orange juice, or water to thin it if necessary, or add a little confectioners sugar if you need to thicken it. Spread over the cake and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.

SWEET POTATOES WITH RUM



Sweet Potatoes with Rum image

This side dish is decadent with the addition of the rum, but not as sweet as those that use marshmallows. If you substitute the orange juice, add some freshly grated orange zest too, for a real flavour punch.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons margarine or 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum (substitute freshly-squeezed orange juice if you wish; it will taste different though)
1/2 cup golden raisin

Steps:

  • Boil the whole, unpeeled, sweet potatoes until tender but not too soft-- it will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your potatoes.
  • Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Arrange the slices in an attractive overlapping pattern in a buttered shallow baking dish.
  • Dot with butter pieces, then sprinkle with brown sugar and raisins, if using.
  • Drizzle the rum over all.
  • Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and glazed, about 30 minutes.
