Sweet Potato Praline Cloud Pie
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 sweet potatoes baked or boiled
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground mace
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 unbaked pie shell
Meringue
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 egg whites
- 6 Tbsp sugar
Praline Topping
- 2 Tbsp firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp dark corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Mash the sweet potatoes and combine with all the other filling ingredients. Pour into the pie shell and bake until firm, about 35-40 minutes.
- Meringue: Add the salt, vanilla and lemon juice to the egg whites. Beat until foamy. Add the 6 Tbsp sugar, 1 at a time. Beat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture forms stiff peaks.
- Praline topping: Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Cook and stir on medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is blended. Remove from heat.
- Spoon dollops of meringue in a ring around the outside edge of the pie. Sprinkle the pecans over the center of the pie. Drizzle all or part of the praline topping over the nuts, as desired.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool to room temperature before serving. Refrigerate leftover pie.
