I can only find them without, the crust at the moment :-(Does anyone know a low fat/calorie Sweet Potato Pie recipe, including the crust?
Sweet potato tart w/pecan crust, P2 [posted by rg4325]
(from Cooking Light, Nov 1992)
CRUST
1C whole wheat pastry flour
1/4C pecans
3.5T chilled smart balance
2T SF maple syrup
Cooking spray
FILLING
1/2C SF maple syrup
2T cornstarch
1.5C cooked sweet potatoes mashed
3/4C soft silken tofu-drained
1.5t finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1.5t grated orange rind(I used 1t orange extract)
1t vanilla extract
1/2t cinnamon
1/2t nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350
For crust, place flour, salt and pecans in food processor; process until pecans are finely ground. Add smart balance; pulse until mixture resembles course meal. With processor on (I turned it off- too scared) add 2T SF maple syrup processing until combined (do not let it form a ball). Knead dough lightly(it will be very sticky).
Place dough in a 9-inch tart pan (I used a pie pan) lightly coated w/cooking spray. Place dough into place using a sheet of plastic wrap. Discard plastic wrap and bake crust for 15 minutes.
For filling- combine 1/2 C SF syrup and cornstarch. Place above syrup mixture, sweet potatoes and next 6 ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Spoon into the crust spreading evenly. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes until set.
The original recipe called for another 1/2 C of syrup to be brought to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/3 C. Cool and drizzle a little over each slice. I didn't have enough SF syrup so I served each slice w/ a dollup of cool whip.
For an even lower calorie version, replace the crust recipe above with this Phyllo Pie Crust Recipe - it's practically calorie free!!
Pie Crust Ingredients:
4 teaspoons Sugar (substitute Splenda if you like)
1/4 teaspoon Pumpkin or apple pie spice, allspice or cinnamon
4 Sheets phyllo dough
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425F (If your pie is to bake at 350F I'll explain further in a minute). Spray 9'; pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Make your pie filling and set aside. To make crust, combine sugar with spice in a cup and set aside. Stack phyllo sheets, then cut in half to make 8 sheets. Cover with tea towel until ready to use. Place one sheet of phyllo on the pie pan spray with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of sugar mixture. Repeat steps with remaining phyllo sheets, fanning them evenly until the entire pie pan rim is covered. Pour pie filling into shell and trim excess dough. To prevent crust edges from burning, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes at 425F. Then reduce temp to 350F (if this is what your pie recipe calls for) and bake for necessary time.Does anyone know a low fat/calorie Sweet Potato Pie recipe, including the crust?
I would partially cook slices of sweet potato in the microwave .Drain them and lay them on kitchen paper.Take a sheet of frozen puff pastry and put on a baking tray. Lay the slices of swet potato over the pastry evenly then with a pastrybrush spread a coating of marmalade (or you could spread honey or golden syrup with cinamon powder whichever you prefer on top.Place in a medium hot oven till golden cut into slices and serve with yoghurt or ricotta or low fat icecream. Works well with pears and apples instead of sweet potato as well.
