Make the crust

Make the vanilla creme mousse

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and process until very smooth. Pour the mixture over top of the prepared crust and smooth to cover the entire surface. Cover and chill until ready to use.

Make the sweet potato maple mousse

  1. Place all of the filling ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth. This can take a little time and you’ll need to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  2. Pour the filling over top of the vanilla creme layer and smooth to cover the entire surface. Chill the pie for a couple of hours.
  3. Top pie with your favorite warm chocolate sauce, a dusting of cocoa powder, or coconut whipped cream.
