GR, you actually inspired me to make something a teeny bit healthier than sweet potato pie Smile

, so here are 2 recipes I am considering. The 2nd one is the one I really want to make, but I have to see if I can find unsweetened coconut in the supermarket. (Both recipes are from the cookbook Simple Pleasures.)

Easy Sweet Potato Pie
3 sweet potatoes, boiled & mashed
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil or applesauce
1 egg
vanilla extract, to taste
cinnamon, to taste

Mix everything together & bake at 375 for 1 hour.

Sweet Potato-Coconut Pudding
1 (40 oz.) can sweet potatoes, drained
2 egg whites
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. soy milk
2 T. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
cinnamon, to taste
1/4 c. unsweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350.

Mash potatoes in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients, except coconut. Mix well. Pour mixture into greased baking dish & sprinkle coconut over the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until filling has set.

LOL, greeneyes, and I felt bad for hijacking your thread.

We don't care for the store-bought pie crusts, they just don't taste that good. And I don't want to buy the graham cracker crusts anymore because I try to avoid trans-fats as much as possible. Hence my question.

I think it should work if I just use my regular recipe and bake it without the crust. I'll try that, but not this Shabbos. In that recipe I cut out all the sugar, and it's just fine without it.

You can use many things in place of the crust. You can even crunch up cookies . I've used butter cookies or cinnamon cookies for crusts.

I never use crusts for mine and they come out fine. Last time I did try adding a bit of flour and it firmed so I could finally slice it instead of scooping.

Try the sweet potato pie from Kosher By Design kids. It is easy to make and delicious! I use a store bought graham cracker crust (can't remember if this was my own idea or what it actually calls for!) I also found mini-graham cracker crusts and sometimes I use them instead (that was my own idea!) Each recipe yields about a dozen mini-pies. They are really cute and are nice when you have guests, no one has to worry about cutting a pie!

GR, what's your recipe & how did you manage to cut out all the sugar? I'd love to try a recipe without sugar

I've been looking and looking for this post, and I'm so glad I finally found it!!!
This recipe sounded so delicious that I just had to try it. My daughter made it for Shabbos a bunch of weeks ago, and it was soo fabulous that she made two for the following week!
Thank you so much for posting it. Very Happy

By the way, where can I get the "Simple Pleasures" cookbook that you got the recipe from?
(Edited to add that she made the pie in a graham cracker crust..very very delicious!)

I'm so glad you liked it purplehair! I ended up making it, & we liked it too. 8)

Simple Pleasures is put out by an organization in Baltimore, if I remember correctly. I don't know where you're located, but I bought it in the seforim store on Avenue M & East 19th or so, here in Brooklyn. It's a nice cookbook, & I use it all the time.

is that pudding a side dish or a dessert?

greeneyes

I served it as a side dish. (It's sweet though!)

I served it as a side dish as well. Its sweet, but I didn't find it sickeningly so. Its also very easy to make. Well, I've never actually made it myself, but I'm basing my opinion on the fact that my 11 year old daughter made the entire thing herself (short of the baking part) by just following the recipe.

Oh, and thanks for giving me the heads up on the cookbook's whereabouts. Are you talking about Judaica Place? (Yup, I'm another Brooklynite Very Happy

)

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, purplehair. Yup, I believe I got the cookbook at Judaica Place.
