π - Sweet Potato Pie (Using Coconut Sugar) with Marshmallow Meringue Topping in A "Sugar Cookie" Crust

Last night, my husband asked me, "What are you baking tomorrow?"
I was like:
Huh?

First I thought he was referring to my nephew's birthday, since he turned one year old today. But then I realized it: Pi Day. I figured it was a good excuse to make the sweet potato pie I didn't get around to making over the holidays.

The pie (Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Meringue Topping) called for a graham cracker crust, but I hate graham cracker crust. I decided to make something like this sugar-cookie-esque crust instead.

In true Sarha fashion, I changed up the recipes.
