Sweet Potato Pie

Whip up some sweet potato pie for your next "cheat meal"!

I can guarantee this will be a hit-it tastes just like pumpkin pie. And although this has butter (which by the way is acceptable for blood type O's and B's), it is still semi-healthy because of the sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes are also on the highly beneficial list for O's and B's!).  

Ingredients (filling):

·         1 lb sweet potatoes (about 5-6 small potatoes)

·         ½ cup butter (one stick), room temperature

·         ½ cup sugar

·         ½ cup almond milk

·         2 eggs

·         ¾ tsp nutmeg

·         ¾ tsp cinnamon

·         1 tsp vanilla

Ingredients (Crust):

·         12 organic cinnamon graham crackers (full sheets)

·         ¼ cup butter, melted (1/2 stick)

Directions for the Crust:

In a food processor, finely crush the graham crackers. Add the melted butter and mix until butter is incorporated into the crackers. Press the graham cracker mixture into a pie pan.

Directions for the filling:

1)       Bake the sweet potatoes (with skins on) at 350 degrees for about one hour or until soft.

2)       When potatoes have cooled down a bit so you can handle them, remove the skins.

3)       In a large bowl, mix together well the potatoes and the butter.  Stir in the sugar, milk, eggs and spices. Beat until mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture over your unbaked pie crust.

4)       Bake at 350 degrees for about 50-55 minutes, or until knife in center comes out clean.

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon.
