Here’s a delectable Paleo sweet potato pie recipe to round out your holiday dessert lineup…

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and it’s time to get your menu planning done! This creamy, mouth-watering pie will quickly become the favorite on your holiday dessert table – even among picky eaters! In fact, it may even replace the classic pumpkin pie (at least, it has on our table)…

Perfect for Paleo dieters, or those who can’t have gluten, this pie is made with a tender and flaky crust of almond and tapioca flours, and filled with a creamy sweet potato, egg, and honey filling, then topped with crunchy pecans. Cinnamon and ginger add some holiday spice, and you can top the pie with either regular or coconut ice cream – depending on your dietary preferences.

And, it gets better after it cools for a while, so this is a great make-ahead recipe that you can get out of the way the day before your holiday dinner!
