Gluten Free Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Recipe

Many of my family members love pumpkin pie, but there are a few, or at least one, who doesn’t. But for some reason, he absolutely adores sweet potato pie.

This fun and delicious alternative (or in my case, addition) to pumpkin pie is a riff on that traditional sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows.

It is also easy to prepare, thanks to the gluten free graham style cracker crumbs from Kinnikinnick. And can be easily made dairy free.

You can make this Gluten Free Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Recipe ahead but I like to brown the marshmallows just before serving so they are ooey and gooey. It only takes a minute under the broiler.

Process until fully combined, scraping the sides of the bowl once or twice.
