How To Make sweet potato and walnut cheesecake

Step 1

preheat oven to 350' while oven is preheating you can put your walnuts on a cookie sheet and let them toast so they are ready when your cheesecake filling is ready

Step 2

in a blender combine sugars, cream cheese,(drained and mashed) sweet potato, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and eggs. mix until thoroughly combined, I usually stick a spatula in the blender and scrape down the sides just in case.
Step 3

sprinkle toasted walnuts into pie shell, and then pour in your sweet potato cheesecake filling. bake for 40 min. cool on counter for 2hrs and then refrigerate
