How To Make sweet and crunchy sweet potato pie

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup melted margarine, 3/4 cup dark brown sugar and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice; whisk well.

    Brush the mixture into a pie crust. Sprinkle 1 cup chopped sweet and crunchy peanuts all over the crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerated for 3 hours.

  • Step 5
    Peel the potatoes and place them in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher.
  • Step 6
    Beat milk, liquid creamer, eggs, cream cheese, coconut extract and remaining melted margarine, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice into mashed sweet potatoes with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Stir in crushed pretzels and remaining chopped sweet and crunchy peanuts.
  • Step 8
    Pour sweet potato mixture into a prepared pie crust.
  • Step 9
    Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the pie is set and the crust is browned.
