This simple pie recipe is great for beginner bakers and for anyone who is super busy with all the holiday festivities. To make this quick and easy, I use a store-bought frozen pie crust.
If you’ve never baked a sweet potato dessert, you’re missing out! I love baking this sweet potato pie recipe during the holidays. I actually prefer it to pumpkin pie. Both pies are very similar, but sweet potato pie has a little more texture from the fresh potatoes. Another sweet potato dessert to try is my recipe for Mini Sweet Potato Meringue Pies.

CRUST-LESS SWEET POTATO PIE

To make it even lighter, go crust-less! For a crust-less version, spray a pie dish with baking spray, pour the sweet potato mixture into the dish, and bake as directed. Without the crust, it’s only 144 calories per slice. On the new MyWW plan without the crust it’s 3 Purple, 5 Blue and 6 Green. (I personally prefer mine with the pie crust – it’s definitely worth the extra points for the holidays!)

HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO PIE

First, you must boil the sweet potatoes and blend them in a blender. Once smooth, put the potatoes in a bowl with the butter and mix well. Then, mix in all the other ingredients. Pour into a pre-made pie crust and pop in the oven. The recipe really is that easy!

This Lighter Eggplant Parmesan Recipe is one of my favorite ways to eat eggplant. No breading, no frying, just eggplant, cheese and marinara. BAKED EGGPLANT PARMESAN What is eggplant parmesan?

It’s delicious and perfect to make ahead and freeze or send to a friend in need! close Volume 0%   This is the way my Mom always made Eggplant Parmesan, and I always preferred it this way over the deep fried breaded version.
