In a stand mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese till creamy (the objective is to remove lumps within the last filling). Add the mashed candy potatoes and beat till mixed. Add the sugars and salt, and beat till mixed. Add the eggs, half of the milk, and melted butter, and beat till mixed. Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and beat till included.

- I wish to whip the softened mascarpone earlier than incorporating to get a silky easy texture.
- You can substitute mascarpone for cream cheese.
- If you discover the perimeters of your pie crust starting to look burnt, wrap them in aluminum foil or use a pie defend because the pie finishes baking.
- You can retailer leftover candy potato pie in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as three days.

If you might be utilizing whipped cream, don’t add it till you’re able to serve.
