How To Make not your grandma's sweet potato pie

1
Pie: Heat oven to 400 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Add the sweet potatoes, eggs, both sugars, milk, cornstarch, salt, bourbon, and all of the spices. Mix on low speed until well combined.

2
Pour mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Place in 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Then lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake another 45 to 50 minutes, or until center is firm. Take out of oven and set aside to cool.

Pecan Praline topping: In a medium saucepan over a medium heat, combine butter, both sugars, salt, and pecans. Heat until mixture begins to bubble, stirring occasionally.
