Sweet Potato Pocket Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Place the sweet potato in a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until fork tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and mash with a fork or potato masher.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Divide the pie crust into 24 small balls. Press them into the cups of two 12 cup mini muffin pans to make tartlet shells. Set aside.
• Spoon the sweet potato into a blender or food processor, and add the evaporated milk, egg whites, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Puree until smooth. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into each tart shell.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the tarts comes out clean. Cool in the pans over a wire rack. Garnish each tart with a cranberry half before serving.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and leave peelings on.
• Place in pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, boil until slightly tender, about 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and water, let cool 30 minutes.
• Start to preheat oven to 375°F.
• Remove peelings with edge of spoon, either thinly slice or mash potatoes with backside of a large spoon.
• Spray a regular cupcake pan with non stick spray for baking.
• Line each cupcake hole with pie crust (use a round cookie cutter or upside down glass to cut the dough in circle).
• Fill pasty to 1/4 inch of top with slices or mashed potato.
• Combine sugar, spices, evaporated milk and water in a jar with a lid. Shake to blend well and cover sweet potatoes with the blend. Place a "dollop" of butter (about 2 teaspoons) on top of each pie.
• Bake for 40 minutes at 375°F.

Steps:

• For the mini sweet potato pies: Pierce the skin of the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then microwave on high until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie crusts on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into chunks. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the cream, brown sugar, orange juice, butter, pineapple, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves and eggs and pulse until the mixture is combined and smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the crusts on the baking sheet. Bake until the pies are slightly browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour or refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the pecan pineapple topping: Add the pecans, cinnamon, salt and cayenne to a small skillet and cook over high heat until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pineapple pieces and remove from the heat. Sprinkle the topping over the pies before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the pre-made mini shells inside a greased 24-count mini muffin pan.
• In a large bowl add the yams, cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, brown sugar and caramel sauce. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer until well combined. Dollop 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pie mixture into each shell. Bake until the custard sets, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• For the Whipped Cinnamon Cream Cheese:
• Add the cream cheese, cream, sugar and cinnamon to a large bowl. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the cream cheese mixture until you reach a frosting consistency. Transfer the mixture to a disposable pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe a small amount of whipped cream cheese on each mini sweet potato pie. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Boil sweet potato whole in skin until soft throughout.
• Allow to cool enough to handle and scoop out the potato.
• Preheat oven Gas Mark 4
• Mix the potato with the butter until it turns into a smooth mash. Then add in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg and cinnamon. Tip - if feeling extra indulgent (and why not!) substitue some of the milk for cream. Mix well.
• Put into your pastry case and place in oven for about 50-60mins. Test with a knife in the middle it shuld come out clean

Steps:

• Boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Let them cool then peel and cut into small cubes. One and a half pounds of sweet potatoes will yield around 1 pound or roughly 3 cups cubed cooked sweet potatoes. Grind the cubed boiled sweet potatoes in a food processor. Add the coconut milk, condensed milk, and melted butter and mix well. My mom uses either coconut milk or evaporated milk but she says whole milk can be used as well. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or using less condensed milk. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. PIE CRUST: Roll the dough like you would when making a crust for a 9-inch pie. Cut 5-1/2- to 6-inch diameter circles using a paring knife and parchment paper (or a plastic container lid) as a guide. This size will give your baby pies a pretty little overhang on top. Cutting the Crust for Baby Pies. Transfer the cut dough carefully into the pockets of a regular 12-cup muffin pan and press it firmly. Pour 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the purple sweet potato puree on top of the crust. Bake the baby pies for 45 to 55 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Cool completely. To add some crunch, sprinkle crushed walnuts on top. Alternatively, top these baby pies with strands of delicious macapuno or sweetened young coconut, which is traditionally paired with ube jam. PIE CRUST DOUGH: Sift together the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt. Mix the chilled shortening and butter. Cut half of the shortening mixture into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or work it in lightly with the tips of your fingers until it has the consistency of cornmeal. Work it in lightly and do not overwork the dough because it will become dense and greasy. Cut the second half of the shortening mixture into the dough until it is pea-sized. If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use a fork. Leave it in firm, separate pieces, some fine and crumb like and the rest the size of peas. Sprinkle the dough with ice water. Blend the water gently into the dough until it just holds together. You may lift the ingredients with a fork, allowing the moisture to spread. If necessary add another teaspoon to a tablespoon of ice water to hold the ingredients together. It is important to add only enough water to make the dough hold together but be careful not to put so much as to cause excessive gluten to develop, which would make the pie crust hard or chewy and bread like. As a rule of thumb, the flour and fat mixture should be moistened only to the point where it forms small balls that hold together when pressed with your fingers. Divide the dough in half, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap. and refrigerate. Chilling the dough up to 12 hours tenderizes it, helps keep it from shrinking during baking, and makes it easier to handle. If the dough has been chilled longer than 30 minutes, let it stand until it feels firm yet pliable, like modeling clay, when pressed. If it is too cold, the dough will crack around the edges when rolled. Rolling the Dough. Roll the dough on a pastry cloth, pastry board, marble slab or on clean smooth countertop away from anything hot in your kitchen to avoid melting the fat. If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, loosen it from the work surface, slide a rimless cookie sheet beneath it, and refrigerate until it firms up. Lightly flour the work surface and the dough. Roll the dough from the center out in all directions, stopping just short of the edge. Check to make sure that the dough does not stick to the surface by sliding your hand beneath it. Scatter a little more flour on the work surface if it becomes too sticky. Rolling dough is like modeling clay. Seal cracks and splits by pushing the dough together with your fingers. Patch any holes, tears, or thin spots with dough scraps. Moisten one side with cold water and then firmly press them into place, with the moistened side down.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, combine all filling ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
• Roll out pie crust.
• Spread butter, cinnamon, and sugar over pie crust.
• Using a cup or a cookie cutter, cut 4-inch (10 cm) circles from the pie crust.
• Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into half of the cut-out crusts.
• Using the other half of the circles, place them on top of the circles that have potatoes on them. Press the edges down with a fork to seal. Brush with egg wash.
• Bake 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

• On a floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-inch square and cut into 4 squares. Divide sweet-potato mixture among bottom halves of squares, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top each with 1/2 cup chicken and brush edges of squares with some egg. Fold top halves of squares over filling to make a triangle, then crimp edges with a fork. With a sharp knife, cut vents in pastry and brush with remaining egg.
• Transfer pies to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, bring 1/2 inch salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook, covered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with pies.
