Steps:
- CRUST: Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in medium bowl. Add 6 tablespoons melted butter and stir until crumbs feel moist when pressed together with fingertips, adding 1 tablespoon melted butter if crumb mixture is dry. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish, building up sides 1/4 inch above rim of dish. Bake crust until set and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Cool on rack. DO AHEAD: Pie crust can be made 2 days ahead. Cover pie crust and let stand at room temperature. FILLING: Preheat oven to 350°F. Pierce sweet potatoes all over with fork; place potatoes on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are very tender when pierced with fork, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes open and scoop out pulp. Transfer pulp to processor and puree until smooth. Set aside 2 cups sweet potato puree for filling; cool completely (reserve any remaining puree for another use). DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine 2 cups sweet potato puree, sweetened condensed milk, and all remaining ingredients in large bowl; whisk until well blended and smooth. Pour filling into crust.

MARSHMALLOW MERINGUE: Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Using rubber spatula, scrape marshmallow creme into large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in another large bowl until foamy. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff and glossy peaks form. Add 1/2 cup beaten egg whites to marshmallow creme and stir with rubber spatula or spoon just until incorporated to lighten (marshmallow creme is very sticky and will be difficult to blend at first, but blending will become easier as remaining whites are folded in). Fold in remaining whites in two additions just until incorporated. Spread meringue over top of cold pie, mounding slightly in center and swirling with knife to create peaks. Bake pie just until peaks and ridges of marshmallow meringue are lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Let stand at room temperature until meringue is cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome; chill. Let pie stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Tips and Conclusion
The sweet potato coconut pie with marshmallow meringue is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Here are a few tips to make sure your pie turns out perfectly:
- Use fresh sweet potatoes. This will give your pie the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to peel and cube the sweet potatoes before cooking them. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality coconut milk. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie.
- Be sure to chill the pie before serving. This will help the meringue to set and make the pie easier to slice.
Here are some additional tips for making the marshmallow meringue:
- Use a clean bowl and beaters. Any grease or residue can prevent the meringue from forming properly.
- Start beating the egg whites on low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This means that they should hold their shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- Add the sugar gradually, beating constantly. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming too runny.
- Continue beating the meringue until it is glossy and thick.
The sweet potato coconut pie with marshmallow meringue is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and holiday gatherings. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
