Here’s a delicious recipe for Sweet Potato Cheesecake Squares—a cozy, spiced dessert that’s perfect for fall (or anytime you want something comforting and a little different than traditional cheesecake):


🍠 Sweet Potato Cheesecake Squares

📋 Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt

Optional topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped pecans
  • Caramel drizzle

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  2. Make the crust:
    • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
    • Add the mashed sweet potato and sugar; beat until combined.
    • Mix in eggs, one at a time.
    • Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble and bake:
    • Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggly.
    • Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight).
  5. Slice and serve:
    • Cut into squares.
    • Top with whipped cream, chopped pecans, or a drizzle of caramel, if desired.
