Now THIS is a dessert that feels like a holiday on a plate 😍🍠🥧—rich, creamy cheesecake layered with warm, spiced sweet potato flavor!
Here’s a perfect, foolproof version:
🍠🥧 Sweet Potato Cheesecake Pie
🧾 Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 graham cracker crust (or use a pie crust if you prefer)
🍠 Sweet Potato Layer:
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (smooth)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
🧀 Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the sweet potato layer:
Mix everything until smooth and creamy.
Pour into crust and spread evenly. - Make the cheesecake layer:
Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until silky smooth. - Layer it:
Gently spoon the cheesecake mixture over the sweet potato layer.
(For a pretty look, swirl lightly with a knife 🌀) - Bake:
Bake for 45–55 minutes until the center is just set (slight jiggle is okay). - Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 3–4 hours (overnight is even better!).
🍯 Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
- Toasted pecans
💡 Make it next-level:
- Roast your sweet potatoes instead of boiling for deeper flavor
- Add a pinch of ginger or cloves for extra warmth
- Use a gingersnap crust for a bakery-style upgrade 👀
If you want, I can give you a 3-ingredient shortcut version that still tastes amazing but takes way less effort 😄
