Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Topping

I’m not a huge potato fan. I don’t care for mashed potatoes, rustic potatoes, baked potatoes, or sweet potatoes, so this was really stepping out of my comfort zone. But wouldn’t you know it that as soon as I added vanilla bean paste, sugar, and a marshmallow topping it turns out I love potatoes! Scroll down for the recipe.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Topping

Ingredients

1⁄3 cup butter

1⁄2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

3⁄4 cup evaporated milk

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes

1teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

9” unbaked pie shell

Large marshmallows

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.

2. Add eggs and mix well.

3. Add milk, sweet potatoes, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

4. Pour into pie shell.

5. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

6. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 35-40 minutes longer or until center is done.

7. Add the marshmallows when you are ready to serve the pie. Turn oven to broil and evenly cover pie with marshmallows while it heats up. Place the pie on a baking sheet and broil until very lightly browned. It will take less than one minute so do not take your eye off of it! Turn off the broiler, open the door once to let some hot air out then close the oven door and leave the pie in the oven until the marshmallow topping just softens, about 2 minutes only. Again, don’t take your eyes off of the pie. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve immediately.
