Don't let the name fool you, this pie does not have a meringue on top...it's mixed in with the sweet potato mixture and makes the filling light in texture. It's delicious! Prep and cook time does not include chilling time. Ingredients:

1 envelope plain gelatin |
3 slightly beaten egg yolks |
3/4 cup milk |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 1/4 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes |
1 baked deep dish pie shells or 2 regular pie crusts |
3 egg whites |
1/3 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. In saucepan combine sugar, gelatin, salt, egg yolks and milk.
2. Cook stirring constantly until mixture comes to boil.
3. Remove from heat and stir in mashed sweet potatoes and spices and let mixture chill.
4. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and gradually add sugar and beat until stiff.
