Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 ½ cups of whole pecans
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar
- 6 ½ tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- ½ cup of unsalted butter
- An egg, beaten lightly
- Filling:
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softened
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of rich brown sugar
- ½ cup of tangy sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- A dash of ground cinnamon
- A hint of ground ginger
- 1 whole vanilla bean
Step 1
Start by blending pecans into a fine meal using a blender. In a mixing bowl, combine the pecan meal, a portion of brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers to incorporate butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized bits. Pour in beaten egg and gently combine with a fork until a dough forms.
Step 2
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, then shape it into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until it firms up, typically for at least 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 3
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to create a 10-inch crust. Place the crust in an 8-inch baking dish. Cover the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights before baking in the preheated oven until the edges turn golden brown, usually for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the crust to cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
Prepare the sweet potatoes by steaming them in a saucepan with a steamer insert over boiling water until they are tender. Mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, eggs, mashed sweet potatoes, sour cream, cinnamon, and ginger. Split a vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the cream cheese mixture, mixing well.
Step 6
Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled crust and bake until the center sets, approximately 1 hour. Let the pie cool to room temperature for about an hour before serving.
