Method

Sweet Potato Pie Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Boil sweet potatoes in water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and peel. Mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Mix Filling

    In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, eggs, heavy cream, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Bake Pie

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the filling into a prepared pie crust and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until set. Let it cool.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, whisk together calamansi juice, sugar, and egg yolks over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Thicken Curd

    Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Butter

    Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth. Let it cool before using.

Toasted Meringue

  1. 7

    Whip Egg Whites

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

  2. 8

    Add Sugar

    Gradually add granulated sugar and cream of tartar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

  3. 9

    Toast Meringue

    Spread the meringue over the cooled sweet potato pie and use a kitchen torch to toast until golden brown.

Vanilla Mandarins

    Prepare Mandarins

    Peel mandarins and remove any seeds. Place in a bowl.

    Flavor with Vanilla

    Drizzle with vanilla extract and sprinkle with sugar. Toss gently to combine.
