    Title: Vegan Sweet Potato Pie
    Categories: Pies, Vegan
    Yield: 1 Pie

    1 Vegan pie crust
    1 lb Sweet potatoes; (2 md)
    3/4 c Full fat coconut milk
    1 c Brown sugar
    1 ts Pure vanilla extract
    1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground ginger
    1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/4 ts Salt
    4 tb Corn starch *
    Vegan whipped cream; for
    -serving; (optional)

    Prepare the Vegan Pie Crust as directed. There is no need to pre-cook
    the crust. You may also use a store bought vegan crust or this
    Healthy Vegan Pie Crust for a gluten free, lighter option. Once the
    pie pan is lined with the uncooked crust, place it in the
    refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

    Preheat the oven to 350 F. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes, then
    place them in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring
    to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until
    fork tender. Drain the potatoes and add them to a large bowl (or a
    stand mixer if you have one).

    With a mixer, beat the potatoes until smooth, then add all the
    remaining ingredients (except the whipped cream!) and beat on high
    speed until smooth and combined.

    Spread the sweet potato filling into the pie crust evenly, and bake
    for 55-60 minutes, until the center is only slightly jiggly. If the
    crust begins to burn or brown too much, use a pie shield or cover the
    edges with aluminum foil for the last half of baking.

    Allow the pie to cool on a cooling rack for about an hour before
    slicing and serving. Serve with vegan whipped cream, if desired.
    Store leftover pie in the refrigerator for 5 days. Enjoy!

    Notes:

    For a less sweet pie, you may reduce the brown sugar needed. 1/2 cup
    would even work, or try using coconut sugar instead. I have not tried
    sweetening it with maple syrup, it may get too watery I'm afraid.

    May substitute arrowroot for the corn starch if needed.

    Many stores now carry some sort of dairy free whipped topping, such as
    Reddi Whip Almond or Coconut Whip or SoDelicious CocoWhip. You could
    also make my Vegan Whipped Cream, made from aquafaba.

    The pie can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply thaw to room
    temperature when ready to serve.
