Description

Directions

• Begin by boiling the sweet potatoes.
• At the same time, add the Silk® milk to a medium saucepan and over medium heat, reduce it by about 60%. It should look more like cream than milk at this point. A good indicator is when you can use a spatula and when you scrape the bottom, you can see the pan. It will thicken more as it cools.
• To prepare the flax egg, simply combine ground flax with Silk® Almondmilk and allow to sit in the refrigerator. It will thicken and become gelatinous just like an egg.
• Next, lets prepare the pie dough. I like to use a food processor which makes easy and quick work of getting things combined.
• Place all ingredients (except the ice water) into the processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
• Slow add one Tablespoon at a time through the feed tube. You may not need it all. The dough should just come together. Do not overwork the dough.
• Wrap in plastic and chill while you prepare the filling.
• In a clean bowl, add the sweet potatoes to the food processor.
• Add the margarine, sugar, nutmeg, flax egg and vanilla. Process until very smooth.
• Lastly, add the baking powder and the evaporated Silk® Almondmilk.
• On a floured surface, roll out the dough and if desired, make cutouts with the remaining dough.
• Place the filling in before decorating. You could also just crimp the edges of the dough. If making decorations, keep a close eye so they dont burn. I dont brush them, but you could use some of your Silk® Almondmilk and sprinkle with sugar. Again, take care not to burn those edges.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes. If you need to cover the decorated edges, you can do so with foil.
• The pie should be set, a knife inserted coming clean. The top will be lightly browned.
• Cool to room temperature and chill, if desired, before serving.
• Top with coconut whipped cream, vegan marshmallows or pecan streusel topping.
