• 0.125 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 1.5 Cups canned sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
• 1 Cups packed brown sugar
• 1 Cups whipping cream
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.75 Teaspoons (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) ground mace
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt

• 2 Large egg whites
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 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 from oven and cool on a rack.
4. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
5. For the filling, place mashed sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl. Whisk in brown sugar, whipping cream, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, mace, and salt until smooth. Pour the mixture into the baked crust.
6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the center is set, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
7. For the meringue, place marshmallows and milk in a pan; cook over low heat, folding gently until marshmallows are 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. Fold egg whites into the marshmallow mixture and spread over the pie.
9. Return the pie to the oven and bake until the meringue is toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
