    THIS DAIRY FREE SWEET POTATO PIE RECIPE IS SO DELICIOUS, YOU’D NEVER EVEN KNOW IT’S A VEGAN SWEET POTATO PIE RECIPE! IT’S DAIRY FREE, EGG FREE, AND HAS A GLUTEN FREE OPTION! 

    Desserts.  It’s one of the main reasons that you are going to your family’s holiday function. Dessert upon dessert upon dessert, has you in the holiday spirit if nothing else does. We won’t blame you if you skip the main course and head straight to the dessert buffet either. 

    However, whether you’ve been dairy free for years or just a few months, one concern always is what can you have at the dessert table.  You want everything, but you know you can’t have everything (unless of course you’re having dinner and everyone is dairy free or vegan – wouldn’t that be amazing?). 

    Thankfully, we’ve done the hard work for you and created the perfect dairy free sweet potato pie. Not to be outdone by our dairy free pumpkin pie (we think you should have both!), but this vegan sweet potato pie is even better.

    It’s so good you won’t even know you’re missing the other ingredients. We’ve made this a vegan sweet potato pie so that means it’s a dairy free, egg free sweet potato pie. Plus, we’re including an option to make this a gluten free dairy free sweet potato pie.

    What ingredients do you need to make Dairy Free Sweet Potato Pie?

    Like a lot of our dairy free dessert recipes, we try to keep the items to a minimum. This dairy free sweet potato pie is no different.  In order to make it you need just 9 ingredients. Here’s what you’re going to need:

    • Arrowroot Powder 
    • Cinnamon
    • Nutmeg
    • Vanilla

    Can I make any substitutions for this vegan sweet potato pie?

    This dairy free sweet potato pie is based off of this traditional sweet potato pie recipe. The only dairy ingredients are the butter and the milk, so if you are only dairy free, you just need to make those too swaps.  Replacing each with a dairy free butter and milk. 

    You are welcome to use any dairy free butter or milk for our dairy free sweet potato pie.  We chose almond milk and a soy free vegan butter, but the choice is yours. If you are nut free, a soy, oat or flax milk will work perfectly in recreating this dairy free sweet potato pie. 

    We prefer arrowroot powder over cornstarch, but cornstarch could be swapped if needed.

    When ready, remove the skins of your sweet potatoes  and add to a bowl. Beat on low with a mixer. Add in the remaining pie ingredients and beat until smooth. 

    It’s that easy to make the most delicious dairy free sweet potato pie around.

    Ingredients

    For the crust

    • 18 Graham crackers, crushed (choose Gluten Free if needed)
    • ½ cup vegan butter, melted
    • 6 tablespoon brown sugar

    For the sweet potato pie

    • 2.5 cups sweet potato (about 2 large)
    • ½ cup butter, almost completely melted
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or sub other non-dairy milk)
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • ¼ cup arrowroot powder

    For the marshmallow topping (optional)

    • 8 tablespoon aquafaba
    • ½ tsp cream of tartar
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla

    Instructions

    • Boil sweet potatoes until they are fork tender (about an 45-60 mins). 
      While that is boiling, make the crust.

    For the crust

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
    • To make the crust, in a 9 inch pie dish, combined the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined.  Then press the mixture down with the back of a spoon evenly and up the sides. 
    • Bake crust for 12-15 minutes until starting to be golden brown. Remove and let cool 

    For the pie filling

    • When sweet potatoes are fork tender, remove the skins of your sweet potatoes and add to a bowl. Beat on low with a mixer. Add in the remaining pie ingredients and beat until smooth. 
    • Pour the pie filling mixture into cooled pie crust. 
    • Bake for 60-75 minutes. The center should have a non-glossy look. The pie will still jiggle. 
    • Set on a cooling rack until room temperature. 
    • Place in the fridge to set up for at least 4 hours. (You can make up to 3 days ahead of time). 

    For the Marshmallow Topping (optional)

    • Place aquafaba in a bowl and beat with a mixture until soft peaks have formed (6-8 minutes). 
    • Add in the remaining ingredients and beat on high until stiff peaks have formed. 
    • Place into a piping bag (use two sizes for a better affect) and carefully pipe topping onto a chilled pie. 
      *Note 1: it’s best to do the topping as close to serving as possible
      *Note 2: If you don’t want to pipe then you can carefully spread on top and create swirl design. 
    • Place under a broiling for 30-60 seconds watching carefully so not to burn.
