Pour into crust and spread evenly. - Make cheesecake layer:
Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy and lump-free. - Layer it:
Gently pour or spoon the cheesecake mixture over the sweet potato layer.
(You can swirl lightly for a marbled look if you want 👀) - Bake:
Bake for 40–50 minutes until the center is set. - Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

💡 Pro tip:
For extra flavor, roast your sweet potatoes instead of boiling—this makes them naturally sweeter and richer.
If you want, I can give you a holiday-level upgraded version (with a pecan topping or gingersnap crust) that tastes like it came straight from a bakery 👀
