Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet  
and drizzle with olive oil. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and  
place in the oven. Roast the sweet potatoes for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until  
the potatoes are fork tender. Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool.  
Remove the skin from the sweet potatoes. In a mixing bowl, whisk the sweet  
potatoes, molasses, spices, eggs, cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla together.  
Pour the filling into the unbaked pastry shell. Spread the pecan pieces  
evenly over the sweet potato filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk the remaining  
ingredients together. Pour the topping over the pecans. Bake for about 1  
hour or until the filling and topping set. Cool for 10 minutes before  
slicing. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, fresh mint sprigs, and  
powdered sugar. This recipe yields 8 slices.
