Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, prick each half with a fork, and place cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until soft.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove skins.
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-2 inch chunks.
- Place in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until easily pierced.
- Drain the potatoes, and let them steam-dry over the pot for at least 10 minutes.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk almond flour and salt to combine.
- Add maple syrup and coconut oil, mixing until sandy-like texture.
- Add egg and mix until dough forms.
- Press the dough into the pie dish and poke holes in the bottom with a fork.
- Bake crust for 15 minutes and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the soft sweet potatoes until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix until fully combined.
- Optionally blend until smooth using a stick blender or stand blender.
- Pour filling into the pie shell and bake for 50-55 minutes until puffed and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Turn off the oven, crack open the door, and let the pie cool in the oven.
- Cool for at least 4 hours to set properly.
- Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to three days.
Notes
- Let the pie cool completely to ensure clean slices when serving.
- This pie can be made a day ahead of time for better flavor.
