Sweet Potato Cheesecake With Praline Topping image

This is a recipe that I came across while browsing the December issue of Essence Magazine. Sounds like a lot of steps but very easy to make. It's an exciting twist to ordinary cheesecake, even if you are not a big sweet potato fan.

I'm not a fan of pralines, so I omitted the praline topping. The cheesecake was still delicious.
