How to Make Decadent Creamy Sweet Potato Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan well.
- Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender, about 30-40 minutes, then mash until smooth.
- Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl, then press into the bottom of the pan.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding sugar until fluffy and light.
- Fold in the mashed sweet potatoes and add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
- Stir in cinnamon and vanilla extract; adjust flavors to taste.
- Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles.
- Turn off the oven, let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour, then chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
Serve with whipped cream or nuts for added texture. Allow cheesecake to chill well for best flavor and texture.
