Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes

Notes
Gracing the top of this pie is a tangy raspberry sauce. To make, simply puree 12 ounces of frozen, unsweetened raspberries (thawed), 1/4 cup of Splenda (or to taste) and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in a blender. Pass puree through a fine sieve set over a bowl. Also on top is a Creamy Vanilla Sauce with a touch of amaretto added.
