Instructions
Cook Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a piece of foil on rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
- Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water. You do not need to peel the sweet potatoes before cooking them. Pat dry with paper towel or a kitchen towel.
- Use a fork to poke holes (steam vents) into the sweet potatoes. Spray with oil and sprinkle with a little salt then place on lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on their size. Testing for doneness: The sweet potatoes are done when a knife or fork can glide easily through the center of the potato.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°F to bake pie.
Prepare Filling
- Once potatoes are cooled, peel skin off and scoop 2 cups in a large bowl.
- Add all the sweet potato pie filling ingredients: dairy-free milk, vegan butter, vanilla, sugar, spices and lastly cooked sweet potato into the blender/food processor container. Adding the liquids first helps everything blend easier.
- Blend the mixture together until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 60 minutes.
- Remove from the finished pie from the oven. Center of pie will be jiggly. Cool for at least 1 hour for pie to set.
