1
Heat oven to 350 degrees.

While the potatoes cook, put the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse several times until they are finely ground.

Add the shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and 1/4 teaspoon each of the ginger and cinnamon, and pulse once or twice; add the melted butter and pulse just to combine.
6
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for about 7 minutes.
7
Remove the crust from the oven and cool.
8
In a food processor, combine the eggs with the remaining sugar, ginger and cinnamon, along with the nutmeg, cloves and salt; pulse until well combined.
9
Add the coconut milk and pulse to combine, then add the sweet potatoes and pulse until just smooth.
10
Put the pie plate on a baking sheet.
11
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the crust and bake until the mixture is set on top but still quite moist, 40 to 45 minutes.

Cool on a rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
