Ingredients

  • 1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count)
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked, mashed and cooled sweet potato
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg white plus 1 teaspoon water, beaten
  • Marshmallows, cut in half widthwise (for topping)

Steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Brush with butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
  • 2
    Roll up tightly and slice into 1/2-inch rounds, like miniature cinnamon rolls.
  • 3
    Press miniature cinnamon rolls, flat side down, evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate, making sure there are no spaces between the rolls. Set aside.
  • 4
    In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, heavy cream, half and half, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Using a whisk or switching to a hand mixer, whisk ingredients until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  • 5
    Brush pie crust lightly with egg white/water mixture. Then, pour sweet potato mixture carefully on top of pie crust. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until filling has puffed up slightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 6
    Remove pie from oven and heat broiler. Top pie with halved marshmallows and place under broiler until marshmallows are a golden brown, about 1 minute. Cool pie on a cooling rack before serving.
