- To make your sweet potato puree, wash the sweet potatoes with a brush, poke with a fork all over, and wrap in aluminum foil. Air fry at 400F for about 1 hour, or until a knife can pierce through with no force. Slice open, and allow to cool on the counter for a few minutes. See my Roasted Sweet Potato Puree
- Preheat your oven to 300F, and line an 9" square pan with parchment paper. Also, lightly spray the paper
- Remove the skins from the sweet potatoes (the skins make a great snack fyi), and add to a food processor. Blend until fully pureed
- Add in the rest of the pie ingredients, and blend until fully combined - whey, sweetener egg, yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and cloves)
- Pour the pie batter into the pan, and shake to make sure it is even. The batter should be pourable, but a thick liquid
- Bake at 300F for about 45 minutes. The top should be lightly browned, and the center should lightly jiggle when tapped on the side. Allow to cool totally in the pan before slicing
Notes
