1 graham cracker pie crust (deep dish, homemade, or purchased)
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg
Dash of ground ginger, to taste
Salt, to taste
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Steps to Make It
Heat the oven to 350 F.
In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, mashed sweet potato, and brown and granulated sugars. Beat until smooth.
Blend in the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Beat in eggs and vanilla just until blended.
Pour the sweet potato filling mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie for 40 minutes or until the center has set. It will still jiggle slightly. Cool on a rack.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.
Store leftover sweet potato cream cheese pie in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 days. Freeze the pie or individual slices in an airtight container for 6 to 7 months.
Top each serving with whipped cream or drizzle with a dessert sauce like caramel sauce or butterscotch sauce.
