Ingredients

1 9-Inch Frozen, Pre-Made Pie Crust, Thawed
Filling: 2 Large, Baked* Stokes Purple® Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Roughly Chopped
Filling: 3/4 Cup Coconut Milk (From 15-Ounce Can Full-Fat Coconut Milk)
Filling: 4 Tablespoons Butter
Filling: 1 Egg
Filling:1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Filling: 1/4 Teaspoon Allspice
Filling: 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
Filling: 1/2 Cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Sugar
Filling: 1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Topping: 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Topping: 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
Topping: 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Topping: 1/8 Teaspoon Sea Salt
Topping: Pecans, Whole Or Crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pie crust 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in blender container or food processor, blend sweet potatoes, coconut milk, butter, egg, cinnamon, allspice, sea salt, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. If too thick to blend, add 1-2 teaspoons coconut milk.
When crust is done, increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Transfer pie crust to wire rack; carefully pour in filling. Smooth out top with spatula. Put pie back in oven and bake 15 minutes. Then, decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake additional 15 minutes. When done, crust should be barely golden and filling should look set. Remove pie and allow to cool to room temperature on wire rack. Cover and place in refrigerator to cool overnight.
Chill whisk and bowl from stand mixer (or regular bowl and whisk) in freezer at least 10 minutes. Pour heavy whipping cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt into chilled bowl and whip on high until peaks form, about a minute. It’s better to under-whip than over-whip! Store whipped cream in refrigerator up to 4 hours.
Before serving, allow pie to come to room temperature. Just before serving, whip topping by hand to make it extra fluffy. Top pie with maple whipped cream and pecans. Slice and serve.
