Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. This will ensure that your oven is at the perfect temperature when you're ready to bake the tart.
  2. Next, peel your sweet potatoes and boil them until they are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mash them until they are smooth. Then, mix in the butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This will create the sweet and creamy filling for your tart.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into your tart crust. Make sure to spread it evenly so that it bakes uniformly.
  5. Place the tart in your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. While the tart is baking, you can start making the praline topping. In a saucepan, combine the pecans, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Cook this over medium heat until it thickens into a syrup.
  7. After the tart has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from the oven and pour the praline topping over it. Spread the topping evenly and then return the tart to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow the praline topping to set and become slightly crunchy.
