Ingredients

For the crust

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

For the sweet potato pie

  • 2.5 cups sweet potato (about 2 large)
  • ½ cup vegan butter, almost completely melted
  • ¾ cup vegan brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk (or sub other non-dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ cup arrowroot powder (can sub with cornstarch)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

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 (or springform pan), combine 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, drain from the water and let cool to able to handle. Peel the skins of your sweet potatoes and add the potatoes to a high powdered blender.
  • *If you don't have a blender, add to a bowl and beat on low with a mixer to break apart.
  • Add in the remaining pie ingredients and blend or 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 a bit. 
  • 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). 
  • Cut and serve warm.
