How to Make Sweet Potato Chess Pie
This is a brief overview of how to make my spin on a sweet potato pie. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Line a pie plate with pie crust. My easy pie crust recipe works perfect here.
- Make the filling. Stir together the pureed sweet potato, sugar, brown sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla, and flour.
- Bake the pie.
- Add the marshmallows. After the pie has baked, take it out of the oven and add the marshmallows on top. Broil them for a few minutes until they turn golden and crisp.

How to Serve
This recipe can be served warm or cold. This pie is delicious on it’s own with its fantastic toasted marshmallow topping, but it would be delicious with whipped cream or some vanilla ice cream too.
Making Ahead
This can be made up to 24 hours in advance. It can be served cold, room temperature, or you can cover it and warm it in the oven for 30 minutes before serving.
Storing Leftovers
Leftovers of this pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days, covered. As with all recipes, use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers.

Sweet Potato Chess Pie
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 sweet potato about 1 pound, baked and pureed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 TBSP vinegar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsps vanilla
- 3 TBSPs all purpose flour
- 5 oz marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a deep dish 9 inch pie pan with your pie crust.
- Whisk together the potato and melted butter. Then stir in all the remaining ingredients except the marshmallows. Pour it into the pie crust and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the edges are set but the middle has a little jiggle still too it.
- Take the pie out and dot it with the marshmallows. Turn on your broiler and put the pie back in, watching very closely. Broil until the marshmallows turn brown on top, about five minutes. When you take the pie out, the marshmallows will be standing up still all weird, but as the pie cools they will fall and make a nice toasted marshmallow layer.
- Let cool on the counter for a half hour and then completely in the refrigerator overnight.

Hi Lisa, I’m making this for Thanksgiving tomorrow and want to serve it warm. I made it today. But I was thinking about cooking it for only 30 minutes today and then finishing up cooking it tomorrow to reheat it and add the marshmallows. Please let me know if you think this will work. Thank you!
Hi Mandi! I haven’t tried that with this recipe, but if I wanted to serve it warm, what I would do instead is fully bake it today (without the marshmallows), and then heat it in the oven at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes tomorrow to warm it up fully. You can add the marshmallows tomorrow at the end of that 20 minute time frame.
