Cooking method

Cooking time: 3 h 45 min

First we prepare the dough:

1. Rub the butter and margarine on a coarse grater.
2. Sift flour, add butter and margarine to the mixture. Mix everything into a homogeneous mass.
3. Add salt, pour in ice water and knead the dough. Knead it until it becomes plastic. The dough should stop sticking to your hands.
4. Sprinkle flour on the work surface, lay out the dough and roll out into a layer not much larger in size than the mold in which you will bake the pie.
5. Put the layer in a greased form with vegetable oil, level it along the bottom, form the sides. Put the mold in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

You can do the stuffing:

6. Wash the sweet potato, put it to cook. It is not essential to take sweet potatoes of two different varieties - it will not affect the taste, but this way the pie will turn out more beautiful. Cook the sweet potato after boiling over low heat for 40 minutes, then let it cool, peel off the skin.
7. Mash the orange sweet potato with a fork, add half the butter at room temperature, pour in half the cream, add half the sugar, break 2 eggs. Divide the spices in half and add one part to the mixture of orange sweet potatoes with other ingredients.
8. Do the same with the purple sweet potato, mixing it with the remaining ingredients and the second part of the spices.

So, the final stage of cooking:

9. Remove the dough form from the refrigerator. Put the mixture with orange sweet potatoes on the dough with the first layer, and with purple with the second. Do this carefully so that the layers do not mix. Smooth the purple layer with a spoon.
10. Put the mold with the future pie in a preheated oven (175 C) for 1 hour.
11. When the pie is baked, prepare the caramel. Melt the butter in a frying pan, put the sugar, stirring constantly, wait until it turns into caramel (completely dissolved, then the mass should thicken). Put the nuts in the caramel, mix. Make sure it doesn't burn down.
12. Put the finished caramel with nuts on the pie. Do not delay with this until the caramel has frozen.
13. Put the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.

Bon appetit!
