There is a widespread misunderstanding among many people which I would like to clarify before delving into this recipe. Violet sweet potatoes and ube are not identical! Ube is essentially a purple sweet yam! Both have a sweet taste that pairs well in most desserts. 

However, what distinguishes ube is that it also carries hints of pistachio flavor. Additionally, ube is challenging to find outside the Philippines, while violet sweet potatoes are readily available in almost every region! So, no need to worry; you won’t have to travel to the Philippines to create this splendid dessert! 

Returning to the recipe, this recipe is actually easier to prepare than you might anticipate. Baking might appear daunting and overwhelming. However, there are subtle ways to adjust this recipe and simplify it. 

Commencing with the pie crust, if you’re short on time or simply don’t feel like making one from scratch, you can easily utilize a pre-made one. Nonetheless, you will find a comprehensive tutorial on how to create this pie, starting from the crust to the filling, alongside some garnishing ideas! I have also included a list of tools that will aid in making this process more straightforward. Let’s now delve into this recipe!

What Equipment Will You Need To Make Violet Sweet Potato Pie? 

• Measuring Cups – As accuracy is crucial in baking, a set of measuring cups is necessary to obtain precise ingredient measurements for this recipe. 
• Measuring Spoons – For measuring smaller quantities of ingredients, a set of measuring spoons is required. 
• Bowl – Two large bowls will be needed for this recipe, one for making the pie crust and another for creating the pie filling. 
• Food Processor – This tool is optional. If you prefer using a food processor to make the pie crust easier, you can do so. I opt for manual preparation as it provides a better feel for the dough’s consistency and prevents over-kneading. 
• Measuring Scale – Some ingredients, like the violet sweet potatoes, must be weighed in pounds and ounces, hence a measuring scale is essential. 
• Plastic Wrap – Plastic wrap will be necessary to cover the dough while it chills before rolling and baking. 
• Rolling Pin – An ample rolling pin is required to roll out the dough evenly. 
• Paring Knife – A paring knife is handy for trimming any excess dough once the pie pan is lined. 
• Pie Pan – For accurate measurements and a flawless pie crust, a 9” round pie pan is indispensable, preferably with sufficient depth. 
• Broad Blade – A broad blade will be essential to dice the chilled butter into small pieces before mixing it with the flour. 
• Pronged Utensil – You will require a pronged utensil to crush the violet sweet potato once it is cooked and cooled. 
• Beater – You will need a beater to unify the violet sweet potato pie filling. 
• Oven Tray – An oven tray will be necessary to bake the sweet potato initially, to tenderize it, and also to finally bake the pie. 
• Wire Rack – To uniformly cool the pie before serving, you will need a wire rack. 

How Long Will It Take To Create Violet Sweet Potato Pie? 

What Elements Will You Require To Construct Violet Sweet Potato Pie? 

For The Surface :

• All-Purpose Flour – All-purpose flour is ideal for making pie surfaces. Avoid using bread flour as it contains a very high gluten level, which would give the pie a bread-like consistency. Overall, you will need 1 ¼ cups of the same, plus some for sprinkling. 
• Unsalted Butter – Butter will provide the pie with its rich flavor and also aid in shortening, as we will be preparing a straightforward base. You will need 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter for this. 
• Salt – Salt will elevate the flavor of the pie crust, so you will require ½ teaspoon of it for this recipe. 
• Baking Powder – It may appear unconventional to include baking powder in a basic crust, but trust me! Incorporating just ⅛ teaspoon of baking powder in this recipe will help the dough rise during baking without shrinking. 
• Ice-Cold Water – Finally, to amalgamate all the ingredients into a doughy consistency, you will need 3-4 tablespoons of ice-cold water. 

For The Content : 

• Violet Sweet Potato – Violet sweet potatoes will constitute the foundation of the content, therefore, you will require 1 ¼ pound of the same. 
• Condensed Milk – Condensed milk will aid in enriching the texture and also in thickening the content, so you will need 12 ounces of it for this recipe. 
• Golden Sugar – Golden sugar will impart a malty flavor to the content, which pairs exceptionally well with sweet potatoes. Opt for light golden sugar as it has lower moisture content. You will need ⅔ cups of it. 
• Hen’s Eggs – Eggs will once again assist in binding the mixture and also in forming a structure while the pie bakes, so you will need three large eggs. 
• Clarified Butter – You will need three tablespoons of melted, unsalted clarified butter for this recipe to give the content a rich flavor. 
• Vanilla Essence – Vanilla essence will elevate the flavor of the content and also eliminate the egg flavor. You will need one teaspoon of it. 
• Nutmeg, Allspice, Salt – The salt is again to enhance all the flavors, and the rest of the spices end up giving the content a warm flavor, perfect for Thanksgiving! You will need ½ teaspoon of all three ingredients. 

Procedures To Construct Violet Sweet Potato Pie

1. Warm The Oven And Bake The Violet Sweet Potato

The initial step in this recipe involves preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Simultaneously, cut the potato in half and position it on the oven tray. Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the tray in the oven and let the potato bake until it becomes tender on the inside, which should take approximately 1 hour. 

2. Prepare The Pie Surface

While the potato is baking, you can commence preparing your pie surface. To do so, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter pieces and start blending them into the flour mixture using the tips of your fingers. 

Perform this process delicately to prevent the butter from melting due to the heat of your hands. The butter should be blended in such a way that it forms small granules akin to sand with the flour. Once the flour achieves a sand-like consistency, you can introduce the ice-cold water. 

This stage can also be completed in a food processor if you prefer; simply ensure not to overwork the dough. Once the ice-cold water is added, give it a few light kneads until all the ingredients combine and form a dough. Once the dough is ready, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate it for 1 hour. 

3. Prepare The Content

Once the violet sweet potato is adequately softened, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a short while. Once cooled, you can prepare the content. Discard the potato skins and transfer the flesh to a large bowl. 

Mash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, ensuring a lump-free consistency. This process can also be carried out in a food processor for a smoother puree. Once the sweet potatoes are mashed, add the condensed milk, golden sugar, eggs, melted clarified butter, vanilla essence, nutmeg, salt, and allspice. 

Blend everything further in a food processor until a smooth puree forms or vigorously mix all the ingredients until the content is smooth. Your filling is now ready! 

4. Create The Lining And Bake

The final step, once the dough has chilled adequately, is to bake the pie. But first, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place the dough on a heavily floured surface and press it down. Begin rolling the dough until it attains a 12-inch diameter. 

At this point, the dough thickness should be around ½ inch. While rolling, remember to lift the dough occasionally and sprinkle just enough flour to prevent sticking to the surface or rolling pin. 

After theUne fois que la pâte est étalée, transfère-la soigneusement dans le moule à tarte. Presse-la doucement dans le moule, en t’assurant que le moule est bien couvert. Si la pâte se déchire, ne t’inquiète pas ! Nous pouvons utiliser des morceaux pour la réparer correctement.

Ensuite, une fois que le moule est correctement garni, commence à découper l’excédent sur les bords et si des déchirures sont présentes, répare-les avec la pâte excédentaire. Ensuite, commence à plier les côtés de la pâte pour les border.

Une fois la croûte à tarte totalement prête, ajoute la garniture et place le moule à tarte sur une plaque à pâtisserie. Mets la tarte dans le four préchauffé à 350 degrés Fahrenheit et laisse-la cuire pendant 50 à 55 minutes.

Après la sortie de la tarte du four, la garniture peut être encore un peu tremblante, mais cela n’a pas d’importance. Elle se stabilisera en refroidissant la tarte. Pour cela, place la tarte sur une grille de refroidissement et laisse-la refroidir complètement, puis sers avec tes côtés préférés !
