- 3–4 tbsp ice water
For the filling
- 1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)

Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of ground ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe uses only a very small amount of ground ginger per serving. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often limit warming spices like nutmeg. The trace amount used here is likely tolerated. If you prefer to always avoid nutmeg, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp salt
For serving

Instructions
- 1
Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast at 400°F (205°C) for 45–55 minutes, until a knife slides through the thickest part with no resistance. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel and mash the flesh until completely smooth — you need about 1 1/2 cups of mash.

While the sweet potatoes roast, make the crust. Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add the cold dairy free butter cubes and work them in with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces remaining.
