Sweet Kumara Pie

This is a must-try dessert. It is beautifully spiced and the filling has a velvety texture that melts in your mouth.

It is lighter yet creamier than its pumpkin cousin, with a heavy dose of vanilla and subtle spices. Beyond tasting better, sweet potato pie is
easier to bake. It doesn’t require cooking the filling, as the sweet potatoes are fully baked in advance, and the pie crust doesn’t require blind baking. 

Additionally, the wonderful taste and good value for money that the orange and golden kumara offer at the moment make it a real family pleaser.
