Photo: Sweet Potato Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter cookie crumbs
- 1 cup ground pecan pieces
- 4 ounces (1 stick) melted butter
- 3 pounds cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1 cup Steen's Pure 100 percent Cane Syrup
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, roasted peeled and mashed
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
- Dash of bourbon
- 1 cup chocolate sauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the crumbs, ground pecans and the butter together. Mix well and press into a 10-inch spring-form pan. In a food processor, with the metal blade, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cane syrup and blend. Add the eggs one at a time to thoroughly incorporate into the cheese mixture. Add the heavy cream. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and vanilla and blend until smooth. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and blend until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake is set.
Remove from the oven and with a knife loosen the sides from the pan. This will prevent the cake from spiting down the center. Completely cool the cake before cutting.
Combine the whipped cream and bourbon together, blend well, keeping it whipped. Garnish each piece of cake with the Bourbon Whipped Cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. I opted for a pecan graham cracker crust instead of the butter cookie crumbs and I'm glad it was spot on! Had a hard time finding the cane syrup had to go to a specialty supermarket (high-end. I used a bit more sweet potato and 8oz less of cream cheese (based upon the other review. This is not a sweet cheesecake so I made bourbon sweet whipped cream which provide just enough sweetness to satisfy. I will definitely make this again next year.

Sweet potato cheesecake was horrible. Not nearly sweet and far too much cream cheese. I wasted about $25.00 on this. I do not reccomend it to anyone.

This was a great success with my guests. My only complaint is that there is not enough "sweet potato" flavor to my tastes...but this could be easily remedied by adding a little more sweet potato and maybe a little less cream cheese.
This is a not-too-sweet cheesecake, which some people might not enjoy. However, with enough sweetness added to the bourbon whipped cream (a delightful accompaniment, and a MUST, it tastes delicious!
