Eggless Sweet Potato Casserole Recipes

EASY EGGLESS SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• If using a homemade pie crust, prepare my pie crust recipe. After the chilling time, place dough on a floured surface, roll to 1/4" thick, and place into a pie dish, crimping or fluting the edges.
• If using a store-bought pie crust, follow packet instructions. Place the dough into a pie dish, crimping or fluting the edges.
• At this point, you have two options, adding the sweet potato filling over the unbaked pie crust or blind baking the pie crust before adding the filling to ensure a crispy pie bottom. It's totally up to your taste, I have done it both ways, and the pie has been delicious either way.
• If you want to blind bake the crust: Line the chilled pie shell with a double layer of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill the pie with pie weights or dry beans (about 1 quart / 950 gr). Bake at 400º F (200º C) for 15 - 18 minutes, or until the edges are set and just beginning to turn golden. Carefully remove the pie crust from the oven. Remove weights and paper and return the crust to the oven to continue baking until golden and crisp, 5 - 10 minutes.
• Oven: Preheat the oven to 375º F (190º C). Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a knife and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, or until softened through.
• Stovetop: Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover them with water, then bring to a boil on the stovetop. Boil for 45-50 minutes, or until super soft.
• Instant Pot /Pressure Cooker: Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Set a heatproof trivet or steamer basket in the Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water and place the sweet potatoes on the trivet. Lock the lid on and check that the valve is set to seal. Set to cook for 12 - 18 minutes under HIGH pressure for small/medium potatoes. When the cooking time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. Carefully, quick release any remaining pressure. Open the pressure cooker and remove the sweet potatoes.
• Once sweet potatoes are tender, allow them to cool until they are easy to handle. Cut tops and bottoms of the potatoes and peel skins off.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180° C).
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment (you can use a blender or a food processor for this), beat/blend/pulse the potatoes on medium-high speed until smooth.
• Add the remaining filling ingredients and beat/blend/pulse on high speed until smooth and combined. NOTE: I like to press the sweet potato mixture through a large sieve to eliminate some of the fibrous strings you find in some sweet potatoes and ensure a smoother texture.
• Spread filling into prepared pie crust. Smooth top with a spatula.
• Mix the eggless egg wash ingredients in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the crust with eggless egg wash.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center of the pie is only slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out "mostly" clean. The center should wobble, but the edge should be set. Note: if you find the edges of the pie crust are browning too quickly, apply a pie crust shield or a ring of aluminum foil to protect it.
• Remove pie from the oven. Place it on a cooling rack and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature before serving.
• Decorate with whipped cream and candied pecans, if desired.

EGGLESS SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Blend together the sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, orange juice, vanilla, sugar, salt, 3 tablespoons butter, nutmeg and cinnamon. Pour into prepared casserole dish.
• Prepare the topping by mixing together the 1/3 cup butter, brown sugar, flour and pecans. Sprinkle over casserole and bake for 45 minutes or until hot.
