Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This pie combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with warm spices, creating a comforting and rich dessert. Its creamy texture and flaky crust make it a family favorite that feels both homemade and special.

Cooking Advice

- Use cooked sweet potatoes that are well mashed for a smooth filling.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to help it set properly.
- If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through baking.

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan so the crust doesn’t stick. In a medium bowl, combine the graham crackers, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your pan to create the crust. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until it’s just starting to turn golden.

Step 2

While the crust is baking, mix together the cream cheese, cooked sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup brown sugar, light cream, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until everything is smooth and well combined. Once the crust is ready, pour this filling over it.

Step 3

Bake the pie for about an hour. In the last 10 minutes, sprinkle marshmallows on top so they can melt and get that lovely toasted finish. Let the pie cool a bit before slicing and serving.

Best Serving Ideas

Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or spiced tea for a cozy treat.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently.
