Just because you’re paleo doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some sweet potato pie! This recipe is not only a healthier version of sweet potato pie but it’s actually very nutrient dense with healthy fats (from ghee and coconut milk) and eggs and gelatin!
This crust is neither sweet nor salty so you could easily use it to make a savory pie as well!
Paleo Sweet Potato Pie
What you will need (pie filling):
- 2 1/4 cups cooked sweet potatoes
- 3/4 cup maple syrup (where to buy maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup ghee (where to buy grass-fed ghee)
- Cream from one can of coconut milk (where to buy coconut milk)
- 2 eggs and 3 egg whites (where to buy organic, soy-free eggs)

What you will need (pie crust):

- 1/8 cup ghee (make your own ghee with this recipe)
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix pie filling ingredients in a large bowl – mix well!
- In a separate bowl mix the crust ingredients (hands work the best) until it looks like dough.
- Grease a pie pan and place the dough in the middle, slowly spreading the dough out with the palm of your hand until it covers the entire pan.
- Pour the filling into the pie pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Let cool for 1 hour.
- Enjoy!

I have a taste for sweet potato pie, so I’m in the process of making this one now. I’ll chime in later on how it turned out.
You could, Eileen but I’m not sure how it would work out consistency-wise. In other words, I don’t think you can just swap it out 1:1. You’d have to experiment with it a bit.
I don’t recall saying it was dairy free. Real maple syrup is not refined sugar.
can you use honey instead of the maple syrup

This is not free of dairy, nor is it free of refine sugar; maple syrup is refine sugar.

this is dairy free. Coconut milk and cream is not dairy. And maple syrup is not refined. This is paleo friendly.
