Tasty Sweet Potato Cheesecake image

Inspired by a side dish at a restaurant, this is a twist on a pumpkin cheesecake. Delicious and easy, it is well worth the effort.

Time 3h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup unsalted butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon root beer extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Transfer sweet potatoes to a large bowl and mash. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and mix in graham cracker crumbs. Pat mixture into a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine sweet potatoes and cream cheese (both at room temperature) in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Mix in sugar until incorporated. Add root beer extract and vanilla. Mix in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides and mix a little more. Turn batter out into the crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer wobbly in the center, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack in a draft-free area until completely cooled, about 1 hour. (Any rapid temperature change will make the cheesecake crack.)

I thought this cheesecake was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too dense for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.

This cheesecake is amazing! The sweet potato filling is so smooth and creamy, and the crust is the perfect combination of crunchy and flaky. I will definitely be making this again for my next party.

Not bad! I thought the sweet potato flavor was a bit too strong, but my family really enjoyed it. I might try making it again with less sweet potato next time.

This is the worst cheesecake I've ever had. The texture was grainy and the flavor was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Not a fan. The texture was a bit too dense for my taste, and the flavor was just okay. I think I'll stick to my regular cheesecake recipe.
