Deconstructed Sweet Potato Pie Bowl – Black Foodie Finder

A Cozy Sweet Potato Pie-Inspired Treat Without Baking a Whole Pie

This Deconstructed Sweet Potato Pie Bowl by Gwynn takes the cozy flavors of sweet potato pie and turns them into an easy fall dessert. Honey-roasted sweet potato gets mashed with cinnamon butter, vanilla bean paste, warm spices, and a pinch of salt before being layered with graham cracker crumbles.

Gwynn finishes the bowl with vanilla protein ice cream, pecan praline, and zero-sugar caramel syrup for a creamy, crunchy finish. It’s sweet potato pie energy without having to make an actual pie—and you can easily adjust the toppings and spices to make each bowl your own.
