Got this recipe from my new favorite magazine Natural Health. I hven't tried yet, but I will soon! Mapple Syrup adds a subtle note to naturally sweet coconut and sweet potato; crystallized ginger can be a sophisticated (and delicious) garnish.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have a deep orange color.
- Cook the sweet potatoes properly: To ensure that the sweet potatoes are cooked through, bake them until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use a good quality coconut milk: The coconut milk is a key ingredient in this pie, so be sure to use a brand that you trust.
- Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling will make it tough, so be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will take about 45-50 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
