In case I haven’t given you enough options for your holiday dessert table yet…I’m bringing you one more! The past few weeks I’ve shard a seriously showstopping dessert in the form of a White Chocolate Cranberry Cheesecake, a more classic option, Brown Sugar Brown Butter Pecan Pie, as well as easy options like Cranberry Orange Shortbread Cookies and 3 Minute Cranberry Pistachio Fudge.
Today, I’m bringing it all together with this showstopping, classic, and oh-so easy Spiced Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Topping.
If you have never had a sweet potato pie before, welcome to heaven. If you’ve been here before but are eyeing that marshmallow topping…you know you’re in the right place. There is nothing like taking a bite of the creamy, sweet filling and find your mouth tingling with the sticky sweet roasted marshmallows. It’s an experience everyone should have.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!
This pie is delightfully easy to pull together and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before serving. Shamefully, this pie is now four days old and I’ve just been too lazy to photograph it until now. You can see how beautifully it has held up. And now my family is going to devour it within the next hour. They’ve been eyeing it for DAYS.
I don’t know about you but desserts are the star of the show at our house on Thanksgiving. I’m there for the meat and potatoes but everyone else wants to see a SPREAD of desserts. Having easy options that look like this…yeah, I win.
The marshmallow topping is done right at the last second…or a couple hours before, whatever works best for you. Sprinkle the marshmallows on and pop the pie under the broiler for a minute or two, just until the marshmallows start to turn golden brown. That’s when the magic happens.
Just watch how fast this pie disappear at your holiday celebration!
