Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 12 pieces Mini tart shells (pre-made or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pierce the sweet potato with a fork several times and bake directly on the oven rack for approximately 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
Peel the sweet potato and mash it in a medium bowl until smooth.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved, then remove from heat and mix in the mashed sweet potato, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl and stir it into the sweet potato mixture until incorporated.
Place the mini tart shells on a baking sheet. Spoon the sweet potato filling into each shell, filling them about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter (melted), chopped pecans, maple syrup, and flour to create a coarse streusel topping.
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over each tart.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pecan topping is golden brown.
Cool the tarts on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Harvest Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Tarts!
