Lunch: Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

Pastry Pie Dough for 1 (9-inch) pie pan or 1 (10-inch) tart shell, recipe follows
2 cups cooked sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled and drained and mashed
4 eggs
1 cup light brown sugar
1 orange, juiced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

Instructions

Blind bake tart shell for 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. In a mixing bowl, combine ingredients thoroughly. Pour sweet potato mixture into tart shell and return to 350 degree oven and bake for 25 minutes or until center is set.
In a food processor, combine the flour, butter and salt and pulse until the mixture is very coarse. Pour the flour/butter into a large bowl and add the ice water. Pour out onto a clean, flat surface into a large log. Using the palm of your hand, gently push and pull the mixture to form it into a dough. Do not knead, you are just slightly manipulating it.
