A flaky, golden-brown crust and silky-smooth filling offer the perfect balance of textures, with a dollop of whipped topping to bring it all together.

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

For the Pie

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1” squares
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 14 marshmallows
  • ¾ Cup granulated Suga
  • 1 Teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 refrigerated pie crusf

For the Whipped Topping

Instructions

  • Boil sweet potatoes until tender (about 20 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add butter and marshmallows to sweet potatoes and beat until melted and well combined.
  • Add sugar, nutmeg, and salt, mix well.
  • Add the eggs and beat until well mixed and creamy.
  • Line a 9” pie dish with the refrigerated pie crust then take the sweet potato mixture and fill the pie crust.
  • Bake until the pie rises, browns, and firms up. This is usually about 35-40 minutes.  If needed, use a pie crust shield if it looks like the crust is browning too fast.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely. Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks are formed.  Use this as a topping for your sweet potato pie (if desired).

Notes

  • To Store: Can be left at room temperature if eaten within a few hours, or kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To Freeze: Wrap in a layer of plastic and a layer of foil. Freeze baked pies up to 2 months and unbaked pies up to 3 months. Let thaw completely in the fridge. Bake unbaked pie as normal. Serve pre-baked pie cold from the fridge or warmed in the oven or microwave.
