Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and a dash of cinnamon until it resembles wet sand. Press into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until set and lightly browned. Allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add sugar, mixing until fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then fold in vanilla extract.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- In another bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Gently spoon the sweet potato mixture over the cheesecake layer, spreading carefully.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow to cool.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes
Ensure sweet potatoes are mashed very smooth. Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
