Sweet Potato Pie Vlf (Ovo Lacto) Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 c. sweet potato cooked and mashed
- 5 x egg whites slightly beaten or possibly
- Â Â egg substitute
- 1 c. brown sugar granulated
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 c. evaporated skim lowfat milk or possibly lowfat
- Â Â sweetened condensed lowfat milk
- 4 tsp sugar optional
- 1 box Phyllo dough
- 1 c. chestnuts roasted
- Â Â cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425. Lightly spray 2 pie pans with nonstick cooking spray.
- FILLING:I used a pressure cooker to cook the sweet potatoes till very soft and notstringy.
- Mash very well. (I used a regular mixer)
- Combine sugar, spices in a little bowl. Last add in vanilla with the spices and then mix into the potatoes.
- Now , beat your egg whites and mix it in with the potato mix.
- Slowly fold in your evaporated skim lowfat milk and set aside.
- CRUSTI took out the entire stack of phyllo sheets from the box. Turned my pie pans over and cut the entire stack to the appx. circumference of the pan soI had a stack of circular dough.
- Quickly, (dough dries out very fast and sticks together) layer 1 or possibly 2 sheetsof phyllo on each of the pans, spray very LIGHTLY with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with sugar and repeat till crust is the thickness you desire. (For 2 pies I used all the phyllo dough in the box)
- I moistened my fingers to seal the edge of the crust and crimp as with a
- "normal" crust.
- Cover edges of crust loosely with foil.
- Pour filling into the phyllo crust. Sprinkle minced chestnuts and cinnamon on top if you like.
- Bake for 15 min at 425. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake for about 30minutes more.
- Enjoy, all my SAD relatives loved it! (Before they would eat it the asked me
- "is this a REAL sweet potato pie, you know what we mean" to that I answered "but of course!")
