Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Begin by preparing the nut crust. Place the mixed nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and blend until the mixture sticks together.
Press the nut mixture evenly into a greased 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the pre-baked nut crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly browned on top.
Allow the pie to cool before serving. For added flavor, garnish with toasted nuts or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy this wholesome and tasty dessert!
