Vickys Sweet Potato Pie
- 520 grams cooked and mashed sweet potato
- 240 ml coconut milk
- 120 ml or to taste maple syrup
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 35 grams cornflour / cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp mixed spice, see my recipe link below
- 1/4 tsp ground clove
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 grams flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 80 ml vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp rice, almond or coconut milk OR cold water
- To make the crust, mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the wet and rub in with your fingertips
- Bring the dough together then press into a 9 inch fluted tin.
- Refrigerate for half an hour *gluten free pastry recipe below*
- Mix all the filling ingredients together then pour into the unbaked pie shell
- Bake at gas 6 / 200C / 400F for 50 - 60 minutes
- Serve warm with dairy-free cream / ice cream and toasted marshmallows, or cold with a beverage!
- You can substitute the sweet potato for pumpkin...OR
- Using this recipe but changing the amount of corn flour to 3tbsp, adding 2tsp baking powder and 80g flour/gluten-free flour.
- Grease a pie or 12 hole muffin tin and bake the mixture at the same temp for the same amount of time.
- This pie forms its own soft crust!
- Just make sure it's completely cooled before removing.
- And a toothpick test won't work - when it's ready the middle will feel moist but done but the outside will be dry.
- Check around 50 minutes then keep an eye on it
