And now for something different–sweet potato cheesecake!

SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE
We all know about pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin pie, right? Why not be bold and substitute sweet potato?

Sweet potato pie is very popular, especially in the south, as a Thanksgiving dessert. Think out of the box and serve this sweet potato cheesecake as an alternate dessert choice for the holidays?

Since sweet potatoes will be featured for very low prices this time of year, I always stock up. What I do is bake them in their jackets and then freeze what I’m not using. This way you always have them on hand. They freeze well and they last for about six months provided they are wrapped properly.

NOPE NOT CHOCOLATE
See that top? I know you are thinking chocolate; but it’s not.

It’s actually something better than chocolate. It’s the caramelized sugars of the sweet potatoes. I think it’s the best part of this cheesecake. It’s not burned even though it’s quite dark…..
