This luscious sweet potato tart combines the rich flavors of sweet potatoes with a crunchy nut topping, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 cups sweet potatoes
1 cup evaporated milk
1.5 cups brown sugar
0.5 cups butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
0.5 cups flour
0.25 teaspoon mace
0.5 cups chopped nuts
Method
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, prepare the filling by mixing together mashed sweet potatoes with evaporated milk, a cup of brown sugar, softened butter, eggs, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, ground ginger, and nutmeg until the mixture is creamy and well blended. Pour this filling into your pre-made pie crust.
For the crunchy topping, combine flour with half a cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, and a sprinkle of mace. Use a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in chopped nuts for an additional layer of texture.
Evenly distribute the topping over the sweet potato filling and place the tart in the oven. Bake for approximately 50 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until the topping is beautifully golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
