Cazuela Pie is a traditional Chilean dish that dates back to the Colonial period. The word 'cazuela' translates to 'casserole' in English, and the dish is typically made with meat, vegetables, and a flavorful broth. This sweet version of Cazuela Pie is a popular dessert, often enjoyed during the fall and winter months when sweet potatoes and pumpkins are in season. The addition of coconut milk gives the pie a rich, creamy texture that perfectly complements the sweet flavors of the sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra decadent dessert.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes.
3.In a pot, cover the sweet potatoes with water and add cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and anise (if using). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are soft.
4.Drain the sweet potatoes and discard the spices. Mash them with a fork or a potato masher.
5.In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, coconut milk, heavy cream, and 3 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.
6.Add the mashed sweet potatoes into the pumpkin mixture and stir until fully combined.
7.Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
8.Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and no longer jiggles.
9.Let cool completely before serving.
