Steps:
- To make the sweet potato puree, cover sweet potatoes with water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; puree in a food processor until completely smooth. Let cool completely before using (refrigerate or freeze for quicker cooling).
- To make filling, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Add sweet-potato puree, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 cup cream; whisk until completely smooth. Place cooled crust on a rimmed baking sheet; pour filling into crust. (If using a store-bought crust, defrost 10 minutes; prick bottom all over with a fork.)
- Bake pie on lowest rack of oven until filling is set, about 50 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, tent edges with foil. Transfer pie to a rack to cool, 1 hour; transfer to refrigerator to cool completely.
- To make the pecan topping, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup light-brown sugar and pecans. Cook, stirring, until sugar is incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon cream; let cool 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture over cooled pie. With a butter knife or spatula, spread mixture over pie. Cool until topping has hardened, about 30 minutes. (Do not refrigerate again; keep pie in a cool place up to 6 hours.)

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE PIE
This showstopping dessert, which is inspired by the classic Thanksgiving side dish, is really a pie baked in a springform pan. (Don't try it in a pie pan because the filling will likely overflow.) What makes this dessert a winner is the textural contrast between the creamy sweet potato filling, the crisp pecan crust and the gooey marshmallow topping. Here are a few tips for best results: Roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them because it enhances their flavor, and use smaller sweet potatoes because they are naturally sweeter than larger varieties. Also, it may seem fussy, but chilling the cooked potatoes, then aggressively whipping them aerates them, resulting in a silkier texture. Once baked and cooled, refrigerate the pie until right before it's time to serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment; set aside.
- Using the tines of a fork, carefully poke holes into the surface of each sweet potato. Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake until fork-tender and the skins are crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Lower the oven to 350 degrees, remove the sweet potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Peel them, discarding the skins, and transfer peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl; mash until creamy (you should have about 2 generous cups). Place the bowl into the refrigerator to chill while you make the crust.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a piece of parchment. In a food processor, combine the pecans, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt; blend on high until the mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs, about 20 seconds. Sprinkle the mixture into the bottom of the pan and press down firmly to compact the crust. (If using a pie plate, press up the sides as well.) Bake until deep golden brown and fragrant, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the crust cool while you make the filling.
- Lower the oven to 325 degrees. Into a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the chilled potatoes and beat on medium for 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl and beater as you go. Add the remaining 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt, along with the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Beat on medium speed to combine for 2 to 3 minutes, again stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater as you go. Reduce the speed to low and add the evaporated milk and vanilla, beating until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated, then turn the speed to medium-high and beat for another 45 seconds before pouring the mixture into the cooled crust. Set the pie on top of a baking sheet, then bake until set around the edges but just slightly jiggly in the center, 60 to 70 minutes.
- Allow the pie to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully arrange the marshmallows on top in an even layer. (If you set the marshmallows on the hot pie as soon as it comes out of the oven, they'll melt into a flat layer. Allowing the pie to cool a bit first helps them retain their shape.) Once the pie cools to room temperature, cover it with foil and transfer it to the fridge to chill, at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, heat the broiler and position an oven rack close to the broiler. Place the pie under the broiler until marshmallows are browned in spots, 1 to 3 minutes, depending on how charred you prefer your marshmallows, watching closely. Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 10 minutes to allow the marshmallows to set and harden before running a knife around the edges of the pan and releasing the ring. Slice and serve immediately.
PAUL PRUDHOMME'S SWEET POTATO PECAN PIE
This recipe came to The Times in 1983 from Paul Prudhomme, the chef who helped put the cooking of Louisiana on the American culinary map. Like its traditional pecan pie cousin, this is very sweet, so serve it with a little Chantilly cream on top.

- In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt and sugar. Add the butter and rub with your fingertips until the mixture looks like gravel, with some butter worked in and some 1/4" chunks remaining. Gradually add the starter, folding the mixture with a spoon or your hands until it just starts to come together into large clumps, with no floury bits remaining. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into an 8" disc, wrap in plastic and chill at least 30 minutes. (The dough will keep, refrigerated, for several days, or tuck into a ziploc bag and freeze for up to a couple of months.)
- Prick the potatoes several times with a fork. Place on a small sheet pan lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven at 400º until collapsing and oozing juices, 40 minutes to 1 hour. (They should be quite tender when squeezed with a pair of tongs.) Let cool until handleable, then peel and scoop out two cups of flesh. Add the butter to the warm flesh and mash smooth with a fork (some fibers and lumps are ok.) Set aside.
- Spread the pecans on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant and crisp, 12 minutes. Let cool until handleable, then use your fingers to break them into small pieces (this results in more regular pieces and less 'dust' than chopping). Combine the pecans in a medium bowl with the sugar, maple syrup and sea salt.
- Whip the cream either in a bowl with a whisk or in a stand mixer fitted with the whip, until it holds soft peaks. Add the maple syrup to taste and the vanilla extract.
