Absolutely loved it!!! I added brown sugar and a little extra butter to it, but IT WAS 100% WONDERFUL! It was light and creamy with not one ingredient overpowering another. 5 stars:

This cheesecake was surprisingly delicious. I made it twice, and on both ocassions i got rave reviews about it. The cheesecake was light and creamy. And the sweet potatoe taste was not over powering. Simply delicious. WE ALL LOVED IT.

I've made this every year for Thanksgiving for the past few years, by request because everyone loves it! It is a BIG moist cheesecake with a subtle sweetness and a great smooth texture. Really, really good. We usually top with chopped candied pecans from recipe, but really any topping would be delicious with this, because the cake itself is so, so rich and delicious. A winner!

Saw a version of this on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" and had to try it. The recipe was kind of vague about how much sweet potato to use, so I put in about 2 cups. I think this was a good amount; mine wasn't completely pureed, but if it had been I think some of the taste would have been lost. Used ginger snaps as a substitute in the crust, and it came out great. If I make it again I probably won't make it so thick, because it was hard to eat more than a small slice (which might actually be a good thing! due to the proportion of filling to crust.
Check out my food blog, where I talk about making this recipe: http://tannerv.blogspot.com. Thanks!

I made this cheesecake for Christmas dinner and we loved it!!! I followed the recipe directions to the Tee and it turned out perfect. I was so proud of myself because I've never made a cheesecake before. Thank you so much Tanya!

I had searched for this recipe for a couple of years before finding it. Made this last year for Thanksgiving. Family loved it. Made again, changed topping, did not like to brittle type topping. Making again this year, at the request of family

Excellent recipe. Flavors in perfect balance that showcase the sweet potato. Not terribly sweet, but yet just the right amount of richness you'd expect from a cheesecake. The candied pecans are a great complement. Definitely would make this again

I've made this several times for my mother who is allergic to gluten. I make it with a gluten-free ginger snap cookie crust and I think it tastes better than with a graham cracker crust. It's always a hit when it's made.
