Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, butter and salt together in a medium bowl until well blended. Press the mixture into the pie plate. Bake until set and the crust feels firm, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- To make the cheesecake filling: In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar and salt, mixing at low speed until the mixture is smooth with no lumps, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and eggs.
- Add the filling to the crust, smooth the top, and chill in the freezer until the filling is sturdy and set up, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- For the sweet potato topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Whisk in the sweet potatoes, half and half, butter, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Pour slowly over the chilled cheesecake filling.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake, covering the edges with foil if it browns too quickly, until set along the outside and the center still has a slight jiggle, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating until ready to serve.

Steps:
- To make the crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Using a tablespoon, press this mixture into a 10-inch springform pan, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake crust for 10 minutes and allow to cool. Butter or spray a pan with vegetable spray.
- To make the cheesecake batter: Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, place cream cheese. Use paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Continue to mix and add sugar and salt. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add sour cream, flour, and spices. Lower speed and add sweet potato puree. Pour the batter into crust lined pan. Place a baking pan of hot water under cheesecake pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F, then lower temperature to 250 degrees F and bake an additional 1 1/2 hours or until cake center is firm.
- For candied pecans: Melt the sugar and cook until temperature reaches 310 degrees F. Stir in nuts until completely coated. Pour onto buttered baking pan. Try to keep the nuts in individual pieces or pulse in food processor for praline effect.
- Let the cake cool completely in pan on rack for 30 minutes, then wrap in plastic, still in pan, and refrigerate until completely chilled. Loosen pan sides and remove cheesecake. Carefully slice cake with knife dipped in hot water, then wiped. Garnish with candied pecans.
SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE WITH PRALINE TOPPING
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.

SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE WITH A POUND CAKE CRUST
I was watching the show "$40 a Day" on the Food Network channel a few years ago, and they were in Atlanta. They featured Sweet Auburn Bread Co. and this sweet potato cheesecake that's made using pound cake as the crust instead of the normal graham cracker crust.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain completely, add the melted butter and mash until smooth; set aside. (Should yield at least 1 1/2 cups)
- 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the pound cake slices into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan; pressing firmly. Set pan aside.
- 3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, using paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium to high speed until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar; scraping sides of bowl. Mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Pour in the heavy cream; mix well. Add the mashed sweet potato, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and salt; blend until well incorporated and no white streaks. Pour mixture into pound cake lined pan.
- 4. Bake for 1 hour, 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave cheesecake in the oven for 45 minutes more (without opening the door). Remove from the oven and allow to cool, in the pan, on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Remove the springform, lightly wrap in plastic wrap, and place cheesecake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. Just before you're ready to serve, prepare the Praline Topping (if desired). Drizzle or spread the topping over the top of the cheesecake, slice & serve. Enjoy!

- 6. *NOTE: For the cheesecake you can use light or dark brown sugar (dark brown will just give more of a rich, molasses flavor) -OR- you can substitute 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar for the brown.
