Sweet potato pies is one of those things that everyone loves, but can take a long time to make. Especially if you are making a gluten free dairy free pie crust from scratch! As much as I love the classic sweet potato pie, I created this crustless sweet potato pie recipe to make a quick side dish, or even dessert!
Crustless Sweet Potato Pie
While this sweet potato pie doesn’t have the traditional crust, it does have a crunchy crusty layer of brown sugar on top of the pie.
Trust me, this is so good you won’t even miss the crust. This deliciousness comes from a quick trip to the broiler for your crustless sweet potato pie.
Simple ingredients make this vegan sweet potato pie a great addition to a weeknight dinner. Plus, with a little bit of brown sugar on top, your family will think you’re cheating and serving them dessert early, while you sneak in some extra nutrition in with all that sweet potato.
As a matter of fact, you can also serve it as a dessert.
The only things you need for this quick sweet potato side dish are some mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and two tablespoons of your non-dairy milk of your choice. We use So Delicious dairy free coconut beverage.
Not dairy free or vegan? Use regular milk. I won’t tell.
You may be a bit worried about making those mashed sweet potatoes, but the truth is your Instant Pot makes it easier than ever. Don’t miss my guide to cooking sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot. Spoiler alert, it is super easy to do. We always have some in the house.
