Ingredients
- 1 store-bought pie crust (of find a sugar-free version here)
- 1-2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup Purecane™ zero- calorie Baking Sweetener
- ½ cup milk (can use plant based milk)
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: sugar-free whipped cream for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Make Pie Crust:
Optional Sugar-Free Pie Crust. If using store-bought pie crust, skip this section:
- In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir until evenly mixed. Once mixed, chop in your very cold butter using a box grater, a pastry cutter, or a fork. You’ll want a crumbly consistency.
- Using a fork or pastry cutter, combine sour cream evenly into the mixture.
- Use hands to combine and create a dough-like texture, form into a dough ball (quickly and firmly to avoid butter melting). If the dough is too dry, add a few tablespoons of sour cream.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and begin to roll out dough using a rolling pin.
- Begin to press the crust into your baking dish, leaving any extra dough hanging over the sides.
- Cover the pie dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before using.
Prepare Pie Filling:
- Boil sweet potato whole, with the skin on, for 30-40 minutes, until you can easily stick a fork in it. Run cold water over the sweet potato to help easily remove skin.
- Mash the softened sweet potato using a fork or potato masher, in a medium-sized bowl, then add in the butter until well combined.
- In the same bowl, add in the pumpkin puree, Purecane™ zero- calorie Baking Sweetener, eggs, milk, and spices. Mix until well combined.
Make Your Pie:
- Transfer filling into your prepared pie crust and then place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. Then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and allow to cool at room temperature.
- Once cool, slice the pie, serve and enjoy! Optional: add sugar-free whipped cream for serving.
