Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Add the beaten eggs, evaporated milk, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top.
Return the pie to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and puffed.
Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Notes
For a smoother filling, you can use an electric mixer to combine the ingredients.
If you don’t have mini marshmallows, you can use larger marshmallows, just cut them in half.
This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly warm.
