Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
PIE:
- 4 cups of sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly equal sized pieces
- 1 banana
- 2 tbsp of light butter (I like Balade Light Butter)
- 3 packets of Splenda No Calorie Sweetener
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- tsp fresh lemon juice
TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
- 1 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Prep the sweet potatoes and transfer to a large pot, add water to barely cover. Cover and bring to a boil, let cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. When the potatoes are nearly cooked, puree the banana in a food processor. Add the hot sweet potatoes, butter, lemon juice, salt, nutmeg, and Splenda packets. Mash together until well blended. Transfer to a pie dish lightly sprayed with a non-fat cooking spray. Bake at 350F for about 15 – 20 minutes or until heated well through. Remove from oven and let cool about 15 min.

For the topping, start by beating liquid egg whites, vanilla extract and sugar to a soft peak. Then, in a separate bowl mix Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme with 1 part of the soft peaked egg white mixture with a wire whisk, until well blended and marshmallow creme has softened up. Then, beat remaining egg white mixture to a stiff peak and SLOWLY fold into marshmallow mixture in 2 parts. Once everything has been folded into one meringue looking batch, evenly spread onto top of pie, creating small peaks and mounds for an aesthetic look. Bake in oven on 350 degrees for about 15 min or until marshmallow/egg white layer turns a soft golden brown. Serve fresh from oven. Enjoy!
