I am going to be honest. This doesn't really taste like pizza and you will have to eat it with a knife and fork. I just want to prepare you. However, to be honest again, it is absolutely and utterly delicious! I could not believe how good this crust came out with the vegan cheese and home-made pizza sauce. Once the components are prepared, it is easy to assemble.

​Prepare the sweet potato crust first, and while that pre-bakes in the oven, prepare the pizza sauce and blend the vegan cheese ingredients. For the vegan cheese start cooking on the stove just before you want to top it on the crust and pizza sauce. Then top with your favorite toppings and add to the oven again.
