• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1.5 Cups canned sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
• 1 Cup packed brown sugar
• 1 Cup whipping cream
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.75 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) ground mace
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) milk
• 2 Large egg whites
• 0.25 Cup white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, 0.33 cup white sugar, melted butter, and 0.125 teaspoon salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack.
4. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
5. For the filling, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, whipping cream, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, mace, and salt until smooth. Pour into the baked crust.
6. Bake the pie until the center is set, about 45 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack.
7. For the meringue, heat marshmallows and milk in a pan over low heat, folding gently until half melted. Remove from heat and continue folding until smooth.
8. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 0.25 cup white sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla and salt.
9. Fold egg whites into the marshmallow mixture and spread over the pie.
10. Return the pie to the oven and bake until the meringue is toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
