Center Stage: Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie with Buttermilk Lipstick

Let’s discuss how to celebrate the season without a lot of rig-a-ma-role. It’s as easy as…pie!

Celebrating #Smoovember is as easy as pushing a button on your Hamilton Beach Smoothie Smart™ Blender (56206). Make them big or make them small; they are the perfect sweet ending to a casual get-together with friends or dessert on a Tuesday night.

I like to bake several extra sweet potatoes when making sweet potato casserole or if I’m going to have one in place of a regular baked potato for supper. They come in handy for moments like these.

To bake, pierce the potatoes several times with a fork and place on a foil-lined half sheet pan. Bake at 450 degrees F  for an hour and twenty minutes or until tender when tested with a fork. One 16 ounce sweet potato will yield a generous cup mashed.

The spiced pie crust sticks are served along with mini marshmallows on wooden picks as a delicious garnish. Listen to “Sweet Potato Pie” by Ray Charles while you make them.
