Top Tips to Make Perfect Thanksgiving Marshmallow Desserts

Need a bit of help? Here are my top tips to ensure you make the best marshmallow treats!

  • Head to your local grocery store and pick the marshmallows you or your family loves! Or, if you want a challenge for next time, you can make your own marshmallows, too.
  • Prep your tools. Usually, you’ll need a large bowl, a sharp knife, and an electric mixer for mixing at low speed. You’ll also need a large pot, a potato masher, and a rimmed baking sheet.
  • When making a base of graham cracker crust or pie crust, melt butter and mix in crushed graham crackers in a large bowl. Press the mixture into your baking dish, spray it with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • For the filling, cook whole sweet potatoes until soft, then mash them with a little heavy cream and vanilla extract using your potato masher.
  • Use cooking spray on the baking dish. Then, pour the filling into the crust and add a fluffy marshmallow topping. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven until golden brown, and enjoy your new favorite dish.
  • For enhanced flavor, add crunchy pecans or a dash of vanilla extract to your sweet potato recipes. This will provide an extra burst of flavor that complements the fluffy marshmallows.
