Vegan Sweet-Potato Pie With Whipped Coconut-Cream Frosting
Sweet potato pie is one Southern dish that's very similar to pumpkin pie, but with a sweeter, slightly earthier taste that makes it a prime alternative if you've got pumpkin pie fatigue. And since sweet potatoes are chock-full of nutrients — especially vitamin A, which promotes immunity and eye health, and fibre — reaching for a slice of sweet potato pie is never a bad idea.
