Sweet Potato Pie (Dairy, Gluten/Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

What to do with leftover sweet potato?  I picked up a few very large sweet potatoes from my local produce farmer.  As usual, I overestimated how much food we really do eat in a meal so nonetheless, there were way to much potato leftovers.   Make Pie?  Pumpkin pie is one my favourites, so I figured sweet potato pie has got to be good too...and it is.  Could be dessert, a side dish or breakfast.
Ingredients
  • 1 prepared pie crust - I used this crust* (see below)
  • 2 cups cooked/roasted sweet potato (2 medium size or 1 large)
  • 3 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut or non dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup palm sugar
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F 
  2. Prepare and bake pie crust.
  3. Place all ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth.
  4. Pour into prepared dish.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes or until set.
