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)

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.
