Sweet Potato Cheesecake With Praline Topping image

This is a recipe that I came across while browsing the December issue of Essence Magazine. Sounds like a lot of steps but very easy to make. It's an exciting twist to ordinary cheesecake, even if you are not a big sweet potato fan.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have overcooked it. The flavor was still good, but the texture was a bit off.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the praline topping was delicious. I think I would try making it with less sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the sweet potato in this cheesecake, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a subtle sweetness and creaminess that was really nice. The praline topping was also delicious and added a nice crunch.
