SIMPLE CRUSTLESS SWEET POTATO PIE



Simple Crustless Sweet Potato Pie image

This recipe is pretty versatile. I used a can of Farmer's Market sweet potato puree, and you can easily swap out for a can of squash puree or pumpkin. Unsweetened soymilk does just fine in this too, I just happened to have vanilla on hand and think that made it a little sweeter.

My grandmother used to make the best sweet potato cobbler, but, like many cooks, she didn't follow a recipe. I tried many cobbler recipes before I discovered this one. It's a favorite for church dinners and is a special treat at home.
