Method

Boil the sweet potato for 7 minutes until tender.

Drain and mash the potato with vanilla seeds and brown sugar until smooth.

Fill a 10cm chefs' ring two-thirds full with the potato mixture.

Whisk egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually whisk in 55g of caster sugar.

Pipe meringue over the mash and brown with a blow torch until golden.

Melt remaining caster sugar in a pan, add pine nuts, and cook until caramelized.

Pour the brittle onto silicone paper to cool.

Remove the ring and serve the pie with broken brittle scattered around.
