Ingredients
- 1 Vegan Pie Crust can use store-bought instead
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (2 large sweet potatoes), washed, peeled + cubed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
- pinch of cardamom
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare half of a vegan pie crust (or use a store-bought pie crust option). Oil a 9" pie pan, lay pie crust over top, and gently form.
- Add cubed sweet potatoes to a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain potatoes and transfer to your blender or food processor.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Pour into uncooked pie crust and smooth the top if needed. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the center is just slightly jiggly. If the crust begins to brown too much, then wrap the crust in aluminum foil or use a pie shield.
- Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for 2-4 hours (or overnight) to firm up.
- Serve with vegan whipped cream!

Notes
*If you don’t have arrowroot powder on hand, you can use cornstarch, potato starch, or tapioca starch.
Nutrition For Mental Health
Purple sweet potatoes are loaded with antioxidants, copper, manganese, potassium, as well as vitamins B5, B6, A, C, and niacin. A study of the Japanese working population found that low levels of manganese, zinc, and copper are associated with anxiety and depression symptoms. Storage Tips
My eggless sweet potato pie will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge, though, as it’s really indulgent, you may want to store it in the freezer to ensure none of it goes to waste. When wrapped well, you can keep it frozen for up to 3 months.
