You will need:
Crust
  • 1 cup graham crackers, finely ground-about 8 graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup + 2tbsp VS Butter Olive Oil, plus a drizzle to coat pan
  • 3/4 cup almonds, finely grund
  • 1/2 tsp Healthy Life cinnamon (VS)
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Filling
  • 2 large or 3 medium sweet potatoes, such as garnet, baked until soft
  • 3 Tbsp VS Maple Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp Healthy Life Pumpkin Pie Spice (VS)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with VS Butter Olive Oil. In a small bowl, combine ground graham crackers, almonds, cinnamon, orange zest and salt and mix. Add VS Butter Olive Oil and mix until the ingredients are combined and crumbly.

2. Place the mixture in the baking dish and press firmly to the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 10 minutes or until set. Remove and set aside.

3. To make filling, bake sweet potatoes and then remove the skins. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mash. Add VS Maple Balsamic Vinegar, yogurt, eggs, and Healthy Life Pumpkin Pie Spice and blend thoroughly.

4. Pour the filling over the crust, smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is beginning to pull away from the side of the pan.

5. Cool on a wire rack. When completely cooled, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

To Serve
Cut into squares and place on individual plates. Garnish with orange zest.

Variations
Blood orange, Lemon, and Lime Olive Oil work well with this recipe. Try a flavored yogurt such as peach, pineapple, blood orange, pomegranate or apple.

Dark Chocolate or Espresso Balsamic Vinegar will add depth to the flavor. For special presentation, top with whipped cream. Try baked pumpkin filling instead of sweet potatoes for a new twist.

  • 48 ounces cranberry juice
  • 3 cups Port wine

Expert Tips
  • Add strawberry halves, peach slices, or large fresh blueberries to the skewers.
  • Replace two cups (16 ounces) of the cranberry juice with orange juice.
  • Add a few cinnamon sticks to the sangria.
  • Add a thinly sliced apple to the sangria.
  • Add 1/2 cup of fresh cranberries to the sangria.
Pumpkin Pie Spice

Warm and festive spices mingle to evoke the spirit of autumn. Sprinkled on ice cream, baked with sweet potatoes, or added to your favorite dessert recipe, Pumpkin Spice brings holiday cheer to the rest of the year.
Vino Rosso Linguini
Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine named for and made from the grape that is the basis of most of California's superb red wines. You'll enjoy the subtle flavor and pretty rose color.
