Even though it's a common dish in the Afro Caribbean / American community, there will be loads of people (like myself) that never learned how to actually make it. Because we were too busy relying on Grandma and grandad. So thank you sharing. 🎯 keep winning!👍🏿
I was depressed about Thanksgiving I usually stuffed my self with bread and potatoes, but now you guys have opened the gates of Vegan Paradise for me. I appreciate this mini series so much! Thank you 🙏🏼🥧
I'm giving thanks for you two. Your compassionate and balanced take on food (and life) is a breath of fresh air in a community that can get pretty wrapped up in dogma. I've been vegan since before it was called that and have been watching your videos since the one where you put oregano oil on your face. I raise my fork to you in plant-based solidarity!
Looks really Good! You know, carrots make a great "pumpkin pie" as well. I've used carrots in recipes calling for either yams/sweet potatoes and pumpkin and one cannot tell it's carrots. it's a great sub when don't have pumpkin or sweet potatoes, and somewhat less expensive and available all year round. When I make pumpkin pie, nowadays, I prefer using kabocha squash, aka, "Japanese pumpkin"; it's a very rich tasting pumpkin and makes fantastic pumpkin bread as well. The green skin is also edible; I make a pumpkin stew with it and leave the skin.
Oh man Derek u are a LIFESAVER!!! I'm 16, vegan for over 9 months because of your fantastic influence, and my grandma has no idea how to make me a pie for thanksgiving :( now i can send this her way and she has an awesome recipe to try out!!! Thanks a lot, man!
Please keep in mind, Thanksgiving celebrates a genocide with a turkey holocoust 😔 ...a day of mourning for native americans. 95-99% were murdered. As a Vegan, I can't get myself to celebrate it anymore.
You two are the nicest, most chill and pleasant people. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! Thanks for the sweet potato pie idea, and the crust, too...much tastier looking than the store-bought one I bought.
You should give it a try. I love them both, because other than the subtle flavor shift, the difference is the depth of the flavor. Pumpkin pie is a bit lighter. It's an excellent pie, especially once grandma gets her hands on the batter. You may end up real upset at yourself for missing out.
@@OmniMK I will keep an open mind, and I will put in my request for a pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving. Whether or not my family shuns after making said requests, remains to be seen haha. Thanks!
@@talkandeattv ha good looking out. I’ll still try it to say I did, but I know sweet potato pie is where the soul’s at. Side note: your channel looks interesting👌🏾
Checking in too! I veganized my grandmothers recipe years back. I entered it into my county fair and took 3rd place one year. Vegan Sweet Potato Pie for the win ❤️
Hi. Love your videos. Especially when Crystal is there! You lucked out. Crystal is such a kind soul. She's so nice and sensitive. She's a beautiful person! She's a keeper. Keep up the great work!
Thank you SO much for this pie recipe! It’s so simple to make, a healthier choice, and so yummy. I actually made it as individual mini pies and it work out great!! It was a total success with my family and friends and no one could tell it was sweet potatoes based! Love it!! Grateful!
I’m Canadian and live in Ontario, Sweet potato pie was not as common in my house but was in my husbands and many others have it for thanksgiving. Some people cover it with marshmallows but I think it’s sweet enough as it is . Has nothing to do with colour. This recipe looks wonderful and I will try it.
@@Simnettnutrition In the south, sweet potato casserole is traditionally covered with marshmallows or a pecan/brown sugar mixture). (My family tells me it's just a crustless sweet potato pie, though. ) Can't wait to try your version of the pie!
Sweet potato pie is usually THE pie on African American Thanksgiving dinner table when it comes to pumpkin vs sweet potato. I get that you guys used coconut milk instead of vegan butter in the batter, but where's the vanilla? Also, condensed coconut milk over full fat coconut milk gives you a texture more like traditional sweet potato pie. But if you never had it prior to becoming vegan, ya wouldn't know to want that. LOL It was so much fun watching you guys make this, and glad that you enjoyed getting into the sweet potato pie game.
made this pie for dessert today and...OMG! This was amazeballs :) so freakin great looks like i will make this next month for thanksgiving.thanks so much for a wonderful recipe &GOD BLESS YOU BOTH
Joe Mclaughlin . I live in Hawaii and purple sweet potato pie is a regular item, all year round. I always buy one when mainland visitors come to visit. They may be hesitant until they take a bite, then it’s eyes wide open with OMG, this is the best pie I’ve ever eaten!
I love making Sweet Potato Pies during the holidays. This year I’ll do pie Drive-bys in November & December here in the lower 48.you guys did a great job.
Don't worry, Thanksgiving is nothing to celebrate. Anyone who does, should be ashamed. 95-99% of native american Indians were murdered. Thanksgiving celebrates a genocide with a turkey holocoust 😔
We dont even have like any fall harvest celebrations where i live in europe and i dont celebrate christmas either but this looks healthy enough to eat it for breakfast 🤔😋
I've made this pie 4 times since Thanksgiving! My family keeps requesting it! I use another crust recipe to stay compliant to our diet, but the filling is so delicious! Thank you for this recipe!
Preparing for American Thanksgiving and just made this for the 4th time with my son. We use pumpkins from our garden because we didn't have sweet potatoes (just added arrowroot powder) so good. I make double the crust because my son eats it as he helps me flatten it. Such a great recipe thanks Crystal! That pie crust is money
I remember my aunt making sweet potato pie every Thanksgiving and she used to put mini marshmallows on top of it! I think I loved it because it was so SWEET! Your recipe sounds great.
This was unreal! I didn't have coconut milk so I used firm tofu in the batter and coconut oil for the crust. Thanks for getting me to try this traditional dish!
I think its great that you guys are reviewing some of the processed vegan foods because there are a lot of people that are transitioning to plant based and it helps to promote better choices!
DEWDS!!! Way back in 1995, living in a North Seattle apartment, my neighbor was celebrating Kwanzaa with friends. She noticed I didn't get many visitors and brought over a piece of sweet potato pie. I never knew such a thing existed. Blew my mind!
My girlfriend just made a really good pumpkin pie that set up perfectly and was actually fudgy with the texture. Her recipe was full fat coconut milk, canned pumpkin, tapioca flour. I just finished the rest of it for breakfast this morning. So good!
@@adorable3817 along with all processed oils. You cant avoid it unless you just dont eat anything processed. But in moderation😜 it's worth it for how good it makes the pie
@@_sacredseven_ good point 😅👍 The other oils do have saturated fat, like 8g and 40g ....coconut oil has 92g 😳🙈 My sister went Vegan, whole food plant based, and off oils - only exception is that she used coconut oil & coconut milk to cook, because she heard it was healthy. After 6 months she was diagnosed with high cholesterol. After ditching the coconut oil everything back to normal. I know. It's delicious 🥰 but just not worth it to me. I have sensitive bronchials and the potential to develop Asthma. Which is why I try to find delicious alternatives, rather than make an exception for which I will feel guilty afterward.
@@adorable3817 I'm in the same boat with Gluten right now. I know it's a hard to digest protien for me but my girlfriend makes the best sourdough bread and I love making veggie sandwiches with it. But I always feel guilty after eating the bread. Need to stick to the simple forms of the food. Oats and rice are my go to sources for carbs. I eat lots of honey, and hemp seeds too. But yeah I co8ld go without coconut milk for sure but I could NOT go without coconut water. It's my favorite thing to drink.
The best pie ever!! I made 2 in the same day because it was soooooo scrumptious! I used date sugar and date syrup in place of coconut/maple. Thank you!🍂🍁😍🤗🍁🍂
I made your sweet potato pie, and it was awesome! I made just a single serving just to make sure I liked it before I committed to a whole pie. So, today I went shopping to get more sweet potatoes--they're in the oven now :) Thanks so much; I will make it for dessert on Thanksgiving this year (but with cinnamon and nutmeg instead of the pumpkin pie spice).
I made this down in Argentina, the smell was wonderful, the crust divine and I topped it with a touch of almond foam such as the kind you would put on coffee...yum, also bet this crust would be great for any kind of fruit crisp!
They do sell pie rim protectors in different materials, but tin foil works as well as you showed us. Can't wait to try recipe for Thanksgiving coming in a few weeks in the US. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet potato pie is often more popular than pumpkin in the southern states.
Yes, we live in Canada, so it's not common here!
Videos with Crystal are my favorite! What a ray of sunshine ☀️❤️
Even though it's a common dish in the Afro Caribbean / American community, there will be loads of people (like myself) that never learned how to actually make it. Because we were too busy relying on Grandma and grandad. So thank you sharing. 🎯 keep winning!👍🏿
In the south we eat sweet potato pie for dessert after eating sweet potato casserole as a side dish. Lol!
😁😂 Facts
🤣
🤣
SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE IS LIFE
Absolutely
It would be fun to use purple sweet potatoes for this one.
omg yes! haha
I was depressed about Thanksgiving I usually stuffed my self with bread and potatoes, but now you guys have opened the gates of Vegan Paradise for me. I appreciate this mini series so much! Thank you 🙏🏼🥧
This is common in black family dinners. I'm more of a pecan pie/chess pie type of girl myself. You guys are hilarious.
Mmmm chess pie!
Definitely southern... I thought pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving was weird😂
they not ready for the chess pie. One thig at a time yall lol
Diana Hughes it's common in Southern families dinners.
@@Ev3_6 It's both a Black & Southern staple, since it's a Soul Food dessert
You both are AMAZING

Thank you so much! that means a lot. I'm glad you still watch even after the oregano oil skin care routine lol.
I agree! I can be in a bad mood and you two cheer me up!
I really enjoy watching you both cook together💞 So much fun!!

Pie-till-4 OMG, you guys are so much fun to watch 🤣 🤣 🤣. I have to try this recipe, it looks fantastic and simple!
The pie looks great. You two are so cute together. Crystal’s make-up looks so fresh and natural. Good color choices.
I grew up eating sweet potato pie but not a vegan version. I'm really interested in trying out the pie crust you made. It looks good.
That sweet potato pie looks so delicious!!! Gotta make it now! Thank you for another great recipe 🙌🏽😊
I like to mix pumpkin and sweet potato to make my pie it comes out good
You two are the nicest, most chill and pleasant people. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! Thanks for the sweet potato pie idea, and the crust, too...much tastier looking than the store-bought one I bought.

Sweet Potato pie is unheard of in Europe as well.
I will try this out soon. Your videos make me so hungry.

Oleda Cooke - I find the full fat coconut milk I use, the clear liquid and solids have separated, could I use just the coconut solids. 😊
From Mississippi here. Always had this growing up. Good stuff !! Glad to see a vegan version. 👍
Yum!!! And one of my very favorite foods! Thank you Derek and Crystal ♥️🌱♥️
Going to give this a try, I love sweet potatoes thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
I think its great your veganizing holiday foods. Great ideas!

Now let’s make a sweet potato pie with purple sweet potato’s. That will throw everyone off.
I wonder if it would stay purple or go kinda black/grey with the spices and stuff lol

y'all are in the holiday spirit and that is great to see
I am a Black Southerner. Black people have been making these for centuries.
Just made it now!!! It's UNREAL! We don't have this sort of thing in the UK. It's a real treat!
We dont even have like any fall harvest celebrations where i live in europe and i dont celebrate christmas either but this looks healthy enough to eat it for breakfast 🤔😋

I purchased silicon pie crust protector rings. They adjust for different sizes of pans. Works great. I hate messing with the foil.
