How to Make Sweet Potato Gingersnap Streusel Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cookie sheet on the oven rack to catch any spills.
- Bake sweet potatoes until tender (about 45-60 minutes depending on size). Let cool slightly, then peel and mash (about 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold in the mashed sweet potatoes until well combined.
- Crush 1 cup gingersnap cookies into coarse crumbs. Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the gingersnap crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch store-bought graham cracker pie crust.
- Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
- Carefully sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato filling.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is set, a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, and the streusel is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before serving.
- Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
