Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 unbaked (9 inch) pie pastry (use your favorite crust recipe or purchase a ready-made crust)
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes (2 medium, peeled and cut into chunks)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk beverage
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Salt (pinch of)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cover the sweet potatoes with water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash.

  • Step 2: In a food processor, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, coconut oil, coconut milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Pulse until very smooth. (You can also do this in an electric mixer, but the resulting filling will be a bit more chunky.)

  • Step 3: Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Step 4: Fill with the prepared crust with the filling, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted an inch from the center comes out clean, and the pie no longer feels very jiggly.

  • Step 5: To avoid cracks, turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and allow the pie to slowly cool in the oven before removing.

  • Step 6: Let cool completely before slicing.
