Move over pumpkin pie, there\u2019s a new favorite in town: sweet potato<\/em> pie! Okay, maybe not so<\/em> new, BUT new to some of us. And we\u2019ve all decided this one might even replace pumpkin pie on our Thanksgiving tables (gasp!). It\u2019s rich, creamy, fluffy, and perfectly sweet and spiced!<\/p>\n

Bonus? It\u2019s undetectably vegan, naturally sweetened, and (optionally) gluten-free! Just 9 ingredients<\/strong> stand in your way. Preheat your ovens, it\u2019s pie time!<\/p>\n

Origin of Sweet Potato Pie<\/h2>\n

Sweet potato pie is a popular dessert during the holiday season, especially in the Southern United States, where it originated<\/a> in the African-American community.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s commonly made with mashed sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, sugar, spices, and eggs. The ratio of some of these ingredients is what determines whether the pie is more light or denser in texture. <\/p>\n

Our inspired version skips the milk and eggs and is naturally sweetened but still light and fluffy like the real deal!<\/p>\n

How to Make Vegan Sweet Potato Pie<\/h2>\n

This EPIC vegan sweet potato pie begins with roasted sweet potatoes<\/a>. Roasting instead of steaming or boiling brings out their natural sweetness and adds caramelization, yielding a pie with rich sweet potato flavor<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n

The roasted sweet potatoes take a whirl in a high-speed blender<\/a><\/strong> with the remaining filling ingredients: maple syrup, cashews, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water.<\/p>\n

\"Blender<\/figure>\n

The result is a creamy, luxurious, perfectly sweet filling<\/strong> that goes into a par-baked pie crust. We like using our homemade gluten-free pie crust<\/a>, but you can use any crust you like (including store-bought)!<\/p>\n

\"Pouring<\/figure>\n

The final steps are to bake and let cool (definitely the hardest part!).<\/p>\n
