However, our goal with this recipe is to show you how easy it is to veganize a classic dessert with just a few simple swaps. Here’s how we did it:For a complete ingredient list and step-by-step guide, scroll down to our recipe card.Start by roasting the whole sweet potatoes. This process caramelizes the natural sugars and removes moisture, enhancing their sweetness (especially when compared to steaming or boiling). Make sure to pierce the potatoes all around to allow steam to escape.Prepare a homemade vegan pie crust according to our recipe, or use a store-bought option. Roll it out and fit it into the pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges however you like. Keep your pie crust cold before baking to achieve a flakier texture.We like to blind-bake our crust for this vegan sweet potato pie to prevent a soggy texture. This just means you will need to par-bake it without any filling in it to give it a head start on the filling. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in our vegan pie crust recipe.When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and add them to a blender with the other ingredients. Mix on high until the texture is smooth and creamy. Remember to measure accurately for the best results. If you have one, use a kitchen scale.Pour the blended sweet potato mixture into the pie crust. With a spatula, spread the filling evenly. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes until the filling is set around the outside but still slightly jiggly in the center, which ensures a creamy texture inside.The edges might crack slightly, which is okay! If the crust browns too quickly, you can cover it with a pie shield or aluminum foil around the 30-minute mark.Remove your vegan sweet potato pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Slice the pie and serve it as-is or with a dollop of vegan whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

If your pie filling isn’t setting, it’s likely due to under-baking. The pie should be baked until it’s set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.&nbsp; Why is my pie crust soggy? The crust may turn soggy if not blind-baked properly. This is why we recommend pre-baking the crust. You can refer to our vegan pie crust recipe for troubleshooting tips and tricks.

Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes after roasting? Yes, it’s essential to peel the sweet potatoes after roasting to achieve a smooth pie filling. The skin will impart an unpleasant gritty texture.
