Cooking steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pie crust 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a blender container or food processor, blend the chopped sweet potatoes, coconut milk, safflower oil, flaxseed, cinnamon, allspice, sea salt, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla/rosewater until smooth. If too thick to blend, add 1-2 teaspoons coconut milk.
3. When the crust is done, increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Transfer pie crust to wire rack; carefully pour in filling. Smooth out top with a spatula.
4. Put the pie back in the oven and bake 15 minutes.
5. Then, decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake an additional 15 minutes.
6. When done, the crust should be barely golden and filling should look set. Remove pie and allow it to cool to room temperature on wire rack. Cover and place in the refrigerator to cool overnight.
7. Before serving, allow pie to come to room temperature. Top pie with the whipped cream and any toppings of choice. Slice and serve.
