Ingredients

1 vegan pie crust*
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 large)
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full fat)
1 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tbsp cornstarch**
1 Tbsp non-dairy butter
1 Tbsp molasses
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground flax seeds
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Prepare the vegan pie crust*. You do not have to pre-cook the crust. Keep it refrigerated until ready to add the filling. You can use a store-bought crust or a gluten-free crust if you prefer.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Use a fork to poke several holes into each. Place on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size. They're done when a fork easily pierces the flesh.
Allow the sweet potatoes to cool. When you are able to handle without burning your hands, remove the peel. With a mixer, blend the sweet potatoes.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center has a slight jiggle.
Allow the pie to cool on a cooling rack to allow air circulation which will prevent a soggy bottom.

Nutritional Information is only an estimate. The accuracy of this recipe may differ depending on the ingredients you use.

* You can use any pie crust you prefer. If using a store-bought crust be sure to check the ingredients list for milk, eggs, butter, etc.

* I do not recommend substituting the cornstarch for arrowroot powder. I found the texture to be better with the cornstarch. I do recommend using organic cornstarch when possible.
