Ingredients

• Korean sweet potatoes - 300 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Coconut oil - 75 grams, melted
• Cold water - 3 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash and pierce the Korean sweet potatoes with a fork, then wrap them in aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the pie crust by combining the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
4. Add the melted coconut oil to the flour and mix until crumbly. Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together.
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish, then place it in the dish and trim any excess edges.
6. Once the sweet potatoes are done, peel them and mash them in a bowl. Add coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
7. Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
9. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Korean Sweet Potato Pie!
