Ingredients
 
 

For The Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs about 12 full sheets of graham crackers.
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

For The Vegan Sweet Potato Pie Filling

  • 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes approximately 2-3 medium sized sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled or steamed and mashed.
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup for the crust. Press the mixture into a standard 9 inch pie pan to form an even crust. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it's golden brown. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, coconut milk, maple syrup, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared crust.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set further.
  • Once chilled, slice and serve your delicious vegan sweet potato pie. You can top it with coconut whipped cream or your favorite vegan ice cream if desired.
