Michael Jackson Sweet Potato Pie Recipe (With Vegan Version)
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 30th, 2009 in Male Singers, Recipes.
The late vegetarian musical legend Michael Jackson was known for his love of sweet potatoes.
Some fans got wind of this and a sweet potato pie recipe was named after him.
The original MJ one isn’t vegan, but we found another sweet potato pie recipe that is.
So take your pick and crank up some Billy Jean to this delicious tribute.
