Crustless Sweet Potato Pie is a delicious pie made with sweet potatoes, a brown sugar-oat crumble topping and without a crust.! Since there is no crust, this dessert is a healthier alternative and super easy to make!
Every Thanksgiving, I look forward to making Crustless Pumpkin Pie. It’s always delicious, a bit healthier, and never disappoints. This year I thought it would be fun to mix things up and try a sweet potato version of this favorite pie. I love sweet potatoes just as much as I love pumpkin, so why not try a Crustless Sweet Potato Pie!
Making pies without crust not only saves calories, but it is so easy to just whip together in a matter of minutes. No rolling, cutting, or messing with pie dough beforehand. Just mix up the filling, pour it into the dish and bake. Since there is no crust or barrier between the filling and the pie plate, the key to making a successful pie without crust is to make sure it doesn’t stick.
For years I tried several methods, but the pie would still either leave a residue or just be difficult to remove. Finally, I tried PAM Baking spray, which does the trick every time! Just a little (zero calorie!) spray on the bottom of the pie plate and the Crustless Sweet Potato Pie slides right out.
For this pie, I used fresh sweet potatoes, baked them at 425F for 45 minutes. To make it easier to remove the skins, I ran the potatoes under cool water, slipped the skins off and put them in a food processor. Then process the potatoes into a puree, add the remaining wet ingredients, and continue to process until smooth. Last, I combined the sweet potato mixture with the dry ingredients, pour into the pie plate, sprinkle the top with a brown sugar-oat crumble and bake. Easy!

This looks delicious! My mother-in-law loves sweet potatoes, I will have to try to make this for her.
My favorite food for thanksgiving is broccoli cheese casserole. Growing up we always spent Thanksgiving at my aunt/uncle’s house, and they made the best broccoli cheese casserole. My dad and I would always fight over the leftovers. Before I had my first Thanksgiving at my husband’s parent’s house, his mom asked me what were my favorites for the holiday, and of course, I told her about the casserole. Sure enough, she makes it every year, and I love her dearly for it! Amongst tons of other things, of course 🙂
