This year, I was inspired by my trip to Italy in more ways than one. When I went to Mariano’s to begin shopping for ingredients, I found the most perfect mascarpone cheese which made me immediately think of tiramisu. With a menu item of sweet potato pie always on the dessert table, I knew blending the two would be perfection. It certainly was!
With my mascarpone cheese, sweet potatoes and other incredible ingredients, I headed to the check out with #MyMarianos Rewards Card to reap the benefits Mariano’s always has for its customers. I was ready to get home and make not just Sweet Potato Tiramisu, but Sweet Potato Pie Tiramisu.
This Sweet Potato Tiramisu recipe does not require a lot of time to create, making it ideal for Thanksgiving! Make this ahead and spend more time with the people you love. To free up more time, you can order fresh holiday dinner turkey and ham options at Mariano’s, too.
I can always count on quality and unique products to select from with amazing prices to match. To find out more about what is going on with Mariano’s, follow them on Facebook or Twitter or on their Community page.

This a great recipe for something different but the same. My family and friends love sweet potatoes but, I am tired of standard pies. This was really so easy to make, I can’t believe I waited so long. It was also hard to find ladyfingers until the holidays. I changed the whipped cream mixture and did not add as much vanilla, I think mine lost its potency. I wonder how long you can keep it? I spooned mine over all the lady fingers rather than dunking it in. Everybody loved it!!!!!
I love this baker and look at so much of the recipes that are placed here. The sweet potato flavor has just the right amount of yumm ( I did use the canned) and it really is well complemented with the coffee taste. I
I made this for thanksgiving yesterday. I made it the day before so it would have time to chill. It was a hit! My great niece tipped her head back and said this is sooooo good She is 4 years old.
When I whipped my cream I put about a tablespoon of mascarpone while beating. I often do this as it adds strength to the whipped cream.
I will definitely make this again. Hope your thanksgiving was filled with good friends and good food.
