- 2 cups cooked sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled and drained and mashed
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- PASTRY DOUGH RECIPE:
- 4 1/2 cups flour
- 12 ounces cold diced butter
- 2 teaspoons salt

Directions
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.
