Once cooled, add to a mixer and puree, adding the spices
Once pureed, mix in the cornstarch and flour
Optional, add in 1-2tbsp almond butter
In a bowl mix together: 188g flour, pinch of salt, 2 tbsp stevia
Mix together. Add 113g vegan margarine (cut into cubes) and with your hands press into the flour mix so it begins to crumble
Then add 60-70ml oatmilk until it turns into a dough ball
Place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes
Heat the oven to 200C
Grease a baking form, press the dough into the form to make the crust
Poke holes in the crust with a fork
Bake in the oven around 15-18 minutes
Then take out of the oven
Add the sweet potato filling and bake in the oven around 25-30 minutes
Turn off the heat and allow to sit in the oven for 15 minutes before taking out and allowing to cool completely
Note the pie crust turns out rather crunchy - not flaky
So you can use another crust if you want a short bread base or make even use nuts/seeds as the base
