Instructions
- In a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand mixer beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy on medium-low speed.

- Remove crust from freezer and pour 1/2 of the cheesecake batter mixture into the prepared pan. Save the other half for the Sweet Potato Layer.
- Return to freezer for about 45 minutes to hour, the layer needs to be firm enough to keep layers separated

- Remove the pan with the cheesecake from the freezer and pour the sweet potato layer on top. Level with spatula
Bake:
- Bake for 1 hour
- DO NOT open the door to the oven. After 45 minutes, check on the cheesecake if it’s done. The center of the cheesecake should still be wobbly with the edges done/brown
- Turn oven off and prop open oven door and leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 30-40 minutes
Chill:
- After cheesecake is completely cool, put in freezer to set for a minimum 3 hours.
