Set the crust aside, or in the refrigerator, while you continue making the pie filling. What ingredients do you need for the pie filling?

What Is Agar Gelatin?
You might be wondering what is agar powder? This optional ingredient is a great egg replacement for vegan cakes and pies. It is like a vegan jello or gelatin that comes from seaweed but has no smell or flavor. You can leave this ingredient out or use 1/2 a banana, flax egg, or egg replacement of your choice.
How do you make the filling for this easy sweet potato pie vegan dessert?
Boil the sweet potatoes
Boil 3-4 large sweet potatoes in a big pot of water for 40-50 minutes until they are fully cooked. Drain them from the water and allow them to cook down before removing the skin. Mix the cooked sweet potato with the rest of the filling ingredients and beat, whisk, or purée until thoroughly smooth and combined. Pour the batter on top of the crust in the pie pan and bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes.
Pour the pie filling over the crust
How do you make the coconut whipped cream? Gather your ingredients: 1 can of full fat coconut milk, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Make sure the coconut milk is fully chilled in the refrigerator over night. It also helps to chill the beater sticks and the mixing bowl. Scoop the coconut cream from the top of the can into the mixing bowl and beat with the powdered sugar and vanilla until it becomes fluffy.

Step 3. Scoop it into a bowl of your choice and topped with fresh fruit and drizzle with agave nectar.
Agave Versus Honey
What is agave? Agave syrup is also called maguey syrup or agave nectar. It’s plant based as it comes from the Agave plant (Agave americanaand A. tequilana plants). The leaves are cut off a plant 7-14 years of age and the juice is extracted from the core called the piña. The juice is processed and condensed into syrup that is mildly less thick than honey. It can be light to dark amber and has a sweet sugary taste, perfect for vegan desserts that don’t match well with maple syrup.

I absolutely love cold watermelon especially in the warmer seasons. This creamy delicious recipe for watermelon sorbet really hits the spot on a hot day. Additionally this specific watermelon sorbet recipe is free of added sugar. That’s because I prefer to use stevia, however you can use any sweetener you like!
Watermelon has such a lovely texture for making sorbet. I especially love pairing it with chilled coconut cream. The best coconut cream to use comes from a full fat can of coconut milk. You can find the cans of coconut milk in the Asian food products section or sometimes in the baking isle.
I like using stevia to sweeten my recipe for watermelon sorbet. However you can use any kind you like, for example coconut sugar, maple syrup, or agave. Another way I love to make my vegan sorbet extra creamy is to use only the cream portion from the can.
How To Get Coconut Cream From Can
Let me explain how to get the coconut cream to separate from the liquid it’s very simple. First things first, ensure you have the full fat canned coconut milk from the pantry isle. Store it in the coldest spot of the refrigerator over night. I love frosty fruit treats in warmer months

The white coconut cream will separate itself from the clear liquid in the cold temperature inside the can. When you open the can you will find the thick white coconut cream at the top.

Scoop fresh watermelon

These healthy rainbow fruit popsicles are so beautiful and delicious. I got these really fun popsicle molds and we had a lot of fruit too. The variety of colors of the different fruits is what really makes them pop.
Also I’ve been trying to find new and creative ways to get my kids to eat healthy. They’re obsessed with popsicles, and these rainbow ones are 99% fruit with just a splash of soy milk. My daughter is only 2 and a half and she gets so excited to eat popsicles.
She loves them so much she actually learned how to say popsicle. Except she says it “popical!” Which is pretty dang close for a toddler saying such a hard word. I love when she eats fruit with its natural sugars as opposed to unnatural added sugars.
You only need 4 different colored fruits to make these rainbow popsicles. I used 1 cup strawberries chopped, 1 cup mangoes chopped, and 1 cup kiwi fruit chopped. Also 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup soy milk (or milk of your choice), and 2 tsp stevia (optional).
Fruit filled ice pops are so simple to make
Healthy Rainbow Fruit Popsicles Recipe
This healthy dessert is so simple to make also. First, chop up the different fruits fresh, you want the juices to bleed together slightly inside the popsicle molds. Sprinkle the fruit with stevia if you like a little extra sweetness.
Start filling the popsicle molds (makes appropriately 12 – 6 oz- molds). After each layer of fruit use a spoon or the popsicle stock to mash down the fruit (this releases some juice and leaves less air bubbles). Evenly distribute the fruit into the popsicle molds making 4 layers.
Top off the rainbow popsicles with some soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or liquid if your choice. Freeze the popsicles for 4 to 6 hours to make sure they are properly hardened. These frozen treats are healthy, plant based, and vegan!
