Delectable Sweet Potato Cheesecake Pie

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish to form an even crust layer. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
5. Add vanilla extract and mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust and spread evenly.

Step 3: Add the Sweet Potato Layer

7. In a separate mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and the egg.
8. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
9. Carefully spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer using a spatula, ensuring even coverage without disturbing the base layer.

Step 4: Bake

10. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
11. Remove the pie and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before topping.

Step 5: Decorate & Serve
