Sweet potato pie is a well-known Caribbean dessert, loved for its sweet and spicy taste. This creamy tart, flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg, is a change from our usual tarts. Sweet potato provides a creamy texture and a naturally sweet taste that goes wonderfully with coconut milk. Ideal for a winter dessert, this gluten-free tart is a great way to discover Caribbean cuisine. I made this recipe by making tartlets.
