It is week #3 for sweet potato recipes. If you have one that you would like to share, email it to me and I'll be sure to post it for everyone to try. This is my own little concoction.
1 cup flour
½ cup brown sugar, loosely packed
¼ cup butter, softened
½ cup finely chopped pecans
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup cooked, mashed sweet potato
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350º. Combine flour, brown sugar and butter until crumbly. Add pecans and mix well; reserve ½ cup mixture. Press remaining mixture into bottom of ungreased 8x8 glass baking dish. Bake 15 minutes and remove from oven. Cool slightly.
Combine cream cheese, sugar, sweet potato, eggs, vanilla and spices and mix on medium speed until well blended and smooth. Pour over cooled crust and sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 350º 30-35 minutes. Cool completely and cut into squares. Garnish with pecan halves if desired.
