Ingredients:
3-4 baked sweet potatoes
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. lemon extract (optional)
1 cup evaporated milk (adjust to preference)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 large vegan-friendly egg substitutes
1 stick plant-based butter (softened)
2 regular pie shells or 1 deep-dish vegan pie crust
Instructions:
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and placing the pie shells in the refrigerator to chill.
Baking Sweet Potatoes: Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes before baking them until tender. Allow them to cool before peeling and mashing them into a velvety consistency.
Creating the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla extract, and optionally lemon extract for a delightful citrus twist. Gradually incorporate the evaporated milk, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture.
Sugar Symphony: Add both white and brown sugars to the sweet potato mixture, infusing a perfect balance of sweetness. Mix thoroughly until the sugars dissolve seamlessly into the vibrant orange blend.
Egg Replacement Magic: Introduce vegan-friendly egg substitutes, emulating the binding properties of traditional eggs. Blend the mixture until the eggs are fully incorporated, contributing to the pie’s rich and custard-like consistency.
Luscious Butter Embrace: Incorporate softened plant-based butter, allowing its richness to enhance the overall depth of flavor. The butter adds a luxurious touch, ensuring a velvety finish to your vegan sweet potato pie.
Assembling the Symphony: Retrieve the chilled pie shells from the refrigerator and evenly distribute the sweet potato filling. Smooth the surface with a spatula, creating an enticing canvas for the delightful flavors that will unfold during baking.
Baking Brilliance: Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the filling sets and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the crust to ensure a perfect golden-brown finish.
Cooling Elegance: Allow the pies to cool on a wire rack, letting the flavors meld and intensify. This crucial step ensures a flawless texture and enhances the overall dining experience.
Presentation: Serve each slice with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of sophistication.
