Meet your new favorite dessert recipe: an easy cheesecake that looks gorgeously fancy. Its deliciously decadent, too, thanks to the clever combination of just-enough sweet potato, ample cream cheese, and a brown butter-based graham cracker crust. It hits all the nostalgia elements, while also feeling elevated enough for the most special occasions. (yet it only requires 20 minutes of active timea win) roasting the sweet potato not only adds a caramelized sugary element to the filling, its natural sweetness allows this recipe to be lower in refined sugar than many other cheesecakes. Don't fret, save time and microwave the sweet potato, if needed.
